The Potter League for Animals will hold a Low-Cost Vaccine & Microchip Clinic, Wednesday, August 23rd, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Potter League Animal Care & Adoption Center located at 87 Oliphant Lane in Middletown.

The ongoing shortage of veterinary appointments has raised concerns about the accessibility of essential healthcare services for pets. In response, the Potter League aims to bridge this gap by providing a timely and affordable opportunity for pet owners to access necessary vaccinations and microchipping services.

The range of vaccines includes Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza), and FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia). The cost of each vaccine is $5. In addition to the vaccines, the clinic will offer microchipping services for $10, contributing to the safety and well-being of pets in the area.

For those seeking a three-year vaccine, valid proof of a non-expired prior vaccination is required. In cases where such documentation is unavailable, a one-year vaccine will be administered. It is important to note that all pets must be at least 12 weeks old to receive these services.

Dogs should  be on leashes, while cats and ferrets should be securely confined in carriers for their safety.
