Low Cost Responsible Pet Care Options

Being a fur- parent also includes being able to provide for them like a member of the family.  Our community has been plagued with a financial downturn just as many other cities in the United States.  Many folks tried to find other options than a traditional veterinarian for pet care.

Hillsborough County has many different options for low cost pet care.

Here are a few options for you to review:

Animal Coalition of Tampa - offering low cost spay and neuter, vaccinations and monthly heartworm / flea products.  www.actampa.org

Humane Society of Tampa Bay - offering low cost spay and neuter services, vaccinations, heartworm treatments, flea and heartworm prevention.  www.humanesocietytampa.org

There are also many mobile veterinarian programs that will set up at different locations throughout Hillsborough County on the weekends and offer discounted vaccinations.  

If you need help locating services for your pup or kitty, please contact Friends of HCAS and we will work to find the services that you need.  Follow us on Facebook to locate up to date locations for pet care services.
