Free Vaccine Clinic

We know veterinary care can be expensive. That’s why our free vaccination clinics are designed to provide affordable access to veterinary care for families in need. Keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccines protects them from serious, preventable diseases and ensures they can live long, healthy lives by your side. 

Vaccines distributed through the Petco Love initiative will be DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines (Thank You, Petco Love!) Rancho Coastal Humane Society will also provide Rabies vaccines, microchips, pet food and other pet supplies. San Diego Humane Society will be onsite to offer pet licensing services, and SNAP will join us to coordinate scheduling for low- or no-cost spay and neuter services.   

A special thanks to Tide & Tail Animal Hospital for their generous support at this upcoming clinic!
