Community Healing Begins Here

We strongly believe that we are responsible for giving back to the community that has trusted us with the care of their companions. This belief is woven into the very fabric of our practice, which is why we proudly offer free veterinary services to those in need. Every paw we heal and every healthy pet we return to their family strengthens the bond within our community.

Free Veterinary Services — A Promise to Pets in Need

We set aside days for free clinics each year, providing essential veterinary care to pets from low-income families. These services include:

  • Free vaccinations
  • Spaying and neutering
  • Essential medical treatments
  • Preventative care education

By ensuring that all pets have access to basic veterinary care, we help address every animal's wellness within our community, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
