Do we need to make an appointment for the low-cost vaccination clinic?
No–it is first come, first served. No appointment necessary!
Is this for all dogs and cats? I have a puppy (7wks old), is it for them too?
Yes, this is for all dogs and cats, whether you’ve had any shots on your puppy yet or not. Your puppy is not old enough for Rabies yet, but we can do the DHPP vaccinations. Your puppy will be old enough by then to be spayed or neutered, so be sure to call and ask about our very affordable rates for surgery! The vaccination clinic does not require an appointment, but you would need an appointment for surgery, so be sure to call if you have any questions. 405-947-7729.
What is the yearly dog and cat vacination?
For dogs, it is the DHPP vaccination, which stands for Distemper, Parvovirus, Infectious Hepatitis, and Parainfluenza. For cats it is the Feline viral rhinotracheitis and feline calicivirus (FHV/FCV) combo vaccine.
Basically this is a series of three vaccines that your puppy or kitten will get when it’s a baby, and then yearly after that. This helps protect them against common diseases that can be fatal to animals, but are easily preventable by vaccination.
This is wonderful! Approximately how many times yearly are clinics like this held?
Also, would it be safe to bring my dog-aggressive dog to the clinic if she is securely leashed and muzzled, or is this a situation where you stand in line for extended periods of time with many other pets and owners?
Jessie, we hold these clinics every 2-3 months; probably 4 times a year is a good average. As for your dog, please contact Traci, our clinic manager, at traci@okhumane.org or 405-947-SPAY to see how she would like to handle that. I am not sure and she would be the best one to ask. Thanks!
I am a vet tech and get many people walking in that cannot afford regular veterinarian costs. It would be great to be able to refer them somewhere, where their pet can be taken care of, that may be more affordable for them. After all, they are taking the initiative to do the right thing. Funds are a common problem I have noticed and I don’t like having to turn people away because they can’t pay. Unfortunately I am not the boss and don’t make the rules. I wish I worked where there was more compassion, rather than the desire to make money. It would be greatly appreciated if you might have a list of places like this, including yourself and what you offer. Thanks so much.
Have the future dates been set yet? If yes? when are they? If no, when will they be posted?
We have not set future dates yet–as soon as we do, we will definitely put them on the web site, blog, facebook, etc.!
In reference to the message from Gogoblu, are there any reduced fee clinics in the Oklahoma City metro area? With the number of unemployed who can’t afford high priced veterinarian care for their pets, it only seems like the humane thing to do. My income at this time is unemployment and I moved here too late to take advantage of your clinic, but have two pets who need updated shots and one who needs to be spayed. (One was given to me from a pet rescue after she suffered serious abuse.)
I would like to know about any future vacc. clinics as well. Or perhaps alternative places that might offer something similar? It would be good to see groups working together, and perhaps supporting one another in what they specifically do best. I know the new recommendations from the AVA is to vacc. every 3 years after 2 following yrs. of vaccs. I’m in area right now, but am currently unemployed. Fortunately, the life-span of these is greater than most people think. But still, would be great to know if there is a vacc. clinic being offered somewhere.
my friend found a dog tied to the side of a road, (no owners in sight) and took her home – she can’t afford to keep her, and shelters in her area won’t take her cause she’s supposedly a pit. Is there another low cost vaccination clinic coming up, or maybe one you could refer her to?
Are you looking for a place to relinquish the dog? Or is your friend keeping the dog? We have a low-cost vaccination coming up at our northwest clinic on April 29 starting at 8:00 a.m. You might also contact the SPOT clinic (www.spotclinic.com) to see if they have any vaccination specials. We can also spay the dog inexpensively. Have her give our clinic a call at 947-SPAY!
Can I bring my dog in for yearly vaccination and heart worm check and pay a little more rather than the special clinic days? I understand from some of my friends who go there and volunteer that this might be a possibility. Thanks
No, unfortunately we only offer these services during our scheduled low-cost vaccination clinics. We support the veterinarians in our community and any local vet can provide those services for you. We’ll post here when our next clinic is!
I just adopted a stray a few days ago, took her to the vet and found out that she is heartworm positive. Do you or any other clinic in the area provide low cost heartworm treatment? I’ve already put $200 in vet bills to my “free dog” and another $500 just might break me at this point.
Courtney, we unfortunately do not offer treatment for heartworm positive dogs, and it can be very expensive at most vets. Adding to this problem is that there is currently a shortage of the most common medication used to treat and kill adult heartworms (called Immiticide, manufactured by Merial). Talk to your vet about the less common method of using a regular heartworm preventative as a low-cost and long-term way of addressing the issue. Preventatives generally keep heartworm larvae from developing, but do not kill the adults. Some vets recommend this and others do not, so consulting a veterinarian is absolutely a must. To learn more about heartworms and treatments, visit the American Heartworm Society‘s website. Good luck, we commend you for bringing a rescued pet into your life and hope that everything works out.
Is the spay nueter clinic less expensive than a standard vet. And is there a waiting list. I have a female, Golden retriver/pit bull that is about 3 years old and has not been spayed.
Thank you/
Hi Margaret,
Yes, our spay/neuter clinic is much less expensive than a standard vet for spay/neuter. There’s not a “waiting list,’ really, but you do need to call and schedule an appointment. The people at the clinic will give you a price and specific instructions so you’ll know what to expect when you bring your dog in. We’ll take great care of her! Please call as soon as you can, the phone number is 405-947-7729.
