The El Paso Animal Services and Petco Loves continue their series of pet wellness clinics, with another free opportunity for pet owners to get their pets vaccinated and microchipped on Sunday.
During the event, one pet will be the 1-Millionth vaccinated pet in the Petco Love’s Vaccinated and Loved nationwide initiative.
The initiative began in August 2021 and has provided animal welfare agencies across the country with free vaccinations to provide to their communities in order to protect owned pets from preventable but deadly diseases.
Since the initiative began, the City’s El Paso Animal Services has vaccinated over 7,000 owned pets in partnership with Petco Love.
The large-scale clinic is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday at 301 George Perry Blvd.

Dogs will receive a parvo/distemper vaccination, while cats will receive a feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccination, both will also be given a microchip.
Pets must be six weeks old or older to receive vaccines. No other pet vaccinations will be available at this drive-thru event.
