Before you go to a low-cost clinic

  • Book early. Many nonprofit clinics open appointments in batches and fill up fast. Some take walk-ins only until they hit capacity.
  • Expect a deposit. Many clinics charge a small booking deposit that's credited to your bill but lost if you no-show.
  • Check eligibility. Some programs are limited to certain ZIP codes, service areas or household incomes. Others are open to everyone.
  • Bring records. Past vaccine records can save you a repeat shot, and many surgery clinics require proof of rabies vaccination.
  • Ask for an estimate. Get the full price, including bloodwork, medications and add-ons, before treatment starts.

Most low-cost clinics can't handle emergencies. If your pet is having trouble breathing, collapses, has a seizure, is bleeding heavily or may have eaten something toxic, go to the nearest emergency vet now.
