| | ,

Vaccinating your dog or cat is cheaper if you head to these parking lots.

Maybe you love your dog or cat and want to give them a long and happy life, or maybe you just want to make sure that that old scrapper who wandered up and that you’ve been feeding out of pity doesn’t bring anything nasty into the family.

Either way, you need to get your dogs and cats vaccinated, and to make that task as inexpensive and convenient as possible, Waxahachie has a couple of weekend low-cost pet vaccination clinics that can see you without an appointment while sparing you the cost of an in-office visit. To find them, you need to head out to these parking lots.

Why you need to vaccinate your pets

When your furry friends are happy and healthy, it’s easy to forget that they need routine vaccinations. Rhoda Hernandez, the Dallas-area operations manager Penny Paws, says first, rabies vaccines are required by law, and moreover, vaccinations and heartworm preventatives can spare you an huge cost in the future.

“Vaccinations are important for all life stages for your puppy or kitten or adult dog or cat because they keep them healthy and prolong their lives,” she says regarding what Penny Paws offers. “And you can spend $26 for a six-pack of heartworm prevention instead of $800 per injection per visit to treat heartworms.”
