East Village Animal Hospital offers clinic for low-income pet owners in Sudbury
It will be held May 1 at the Ryan Heights Playground field house
Article content
The City of Greater Sudbury, in partnership with East Village Animal Hospital, is hosting a second subsidized veterinary clinic on May 1, for pet owners with a net income of less than $40,000.
The vaccination clinic is by pre-registration only and will be held at the Ryan Heights Playground field house, 736 Bruce Ave., between 12-6 p.m. Spots are limited. To pre-register for the clinic, email evahnorth@gmail.com or call 519-894-2323.
If the clinic is full, residents may ask to be placed on a waiting list or to pre-register for a future spay and neuter clinic.
The new clinic follows on the heels of the overwhelming success of 2019 pilot programs, which were held at Ryan Heights and Percy playgrounds. The cost of a dog or cat examination and core vaccinations is $30 plus tax per pet. Microchipping will also be available for $30 plus tax.
Animals used for breeding purposes are not eligible for the clinic, however.
The East Village Animal Hospital is a high-volume spay/neuter clinic dedicated to providing comprehensive preventative medicine services for pets cared for by low-income individuals; animal rescue groups; humane societies; and municipal shelters. The hospital and its partner agencies fundraise to subsidize services provided by licensed veterinarians travelling from clinics in London and Kitchener.
Residents who pre-register are asked to verify their income upon arrival with proof of government assistance or notice of assessment.
The City of Greater Sudbury supports healthy pets and healthy community non-profit program initiatives. For more information about the city’s animal services, visit greatersudbury.ca/animals. For more information about the East Village Animal Hospital, visit evah.ca.
