Vaccinations are an extremely important part of your pet’s health and wellbeing. By teaching their immune system how to recognize and fight off diseases, they can prevent or lessen the severity of illnesses. That’s why Joybound offers free, monthly pet vaccination clinics, held at various locations in Contra Costa County!
At these clinics, dogs and cats can both receive rabies vaccines, dogs can receive a DHPP vaccine (which protects against Canine Distemper Virus, Canine Hepatitis, Canine Parainfluenza, and Canine Parvovirus), and cats can receive a FVRCP vaccine (which protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia).
Plus, both dogs and cats can be administered with free pet microchips and our team will also have free pet food available for pickup.
