HHS FFA Low Cost Pet Shot Clinic and Heartworm Meds for Cats and Dogs
Mark those calendars, because our December shot clinic is almost here!
Next Monday, December 6th from 5-7 at the Hendrickson High School Ag building (behind the school) we will have low cost vaccines and low cost heartworm meds too! There may be a line so please keep that in mind. We will get it moving as fast as possible. The funds made from this will go toward helping our Hendrickson FFA students travel to career contests in the spring!!
Is there a dog or cat in your life that need their annual vaccines but you don't want to break the bank? Don't you worry because HHS FFA has you covered! On December 6th from 5 - 7 pm we will be hosting a Discounted Vaccination Pet Clinic provided by Dr. John Tarlton of Austin Avenue Animal Hospital. You can get your entire yearly vaccines for $20 per animal. There are other shots provided as well and we have listed the prices of them on the flyer. If you have 3 or more pets fill out the pet info sheet attached and send it to longhornlana@aol.com for a speedy check out!
If you don't need vaccines, they will also have heartworm and flea preventatives available for your pets, and if that is all you are needing you don’t have to bring your pets for that. You can also skip the line and come straight to the front to get them and check out!
