THE JANUARY CLINIC ROSTER IS NOW FULL, BUT WE ARE KEEPING A WAITING LIST IN CASE OF CANCELLATIONS.
We're bringing the Community Pets Mobile Veterinary Clinic back on Monday, January 13, 2025, for another Snap Mobile event!
The cost of surgery and pain medication will be covered by our SNAP voucher for pet owners 18+ years old with current Medicaid or EBT cards. The basic cost will be $35-$60 for surgery, pain meds, and a rabies vaccine, unless there are special conditions. Some other veterinary services and vaccines will be available for additional cost. We will be able to take about 30 pets.
For this event, all eligible pet owners must be able to email or have someone willing to do email communications for them. They or a helper will also need to be available on Dec. 13 or 14 to complete registration and pay for the voucher and on Monday, Jan. 13, to drop off pet(s) between 7:30 and 8:15 AM and pick them up between 1 and 3 PM.
Limits: Maximum of two pets (2 cats, 2 dogs, or 1 of each) under 6 years old and over 4 months old by Jan. 13. Due to higher risk, all dogs must weigh less than 40 lbs., and we cannot take “smush face” breeds or mixes (eg. pug, Shih Tzu, bulldog, Persian cats).
We're still taking preliminary applications BY EMAIL ONLY for the waiting list. Send an email (no calls) to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the subject “SNAP Mobile Application.” In the message, for each pet (max of two), list the species (dog or cat), their name, age, and, for dogs, their weight and breed/mix. Please also include the pet owner's name and phone number. You can ask any questions you have in the email. We'll reply to your application email with additional information and answers to your questions!
Thank you for your patience with the process!
