Pet owners in Truganina and Tarneit are getting a boost, with RSPCA Victoria reintroducing low-cost pet vaccination clinics in March.
Amid the cost-of-living crisis, these clinics will help make vaccinations and health checks more accessible.
For a fee of $59, an RSPCA veterinarian will give a dog or cat their preventative vaccines and ensure the pets are fit for their vaccinations.
The Head of Prevention for RSPCA Victoria, Rebecca Cook said they looked forward to helping more Melbourne pet owners.
“At our recent clinic in Manor Lakes we saw 20 local pets and their owners, and we saw 14 local pets at our recent Tarneit clinic,“ Ms Cook said.
“We can’t wait to hit the road again and look forward to meeting more furry friends.“
The RSPCA can provide pet owners with professional advice on how to keep their pets healthy.
Due to the nationwide F3 vaccine shortage, the team can only conduct basic health checks for cats.
The clinics will run at the Arndell Park Community Centre on Wednesday, March 6, and at the Tarneit Community Learning Centre on Thursday, March 14.
Due to limited spot availability, people must book appointments in advance through the RSCPA website.
Those with more than one pet must book a separate appointment for each animal.
