Pet Health Outreach

Because progress for animals is progress for humanity, we believe quality pet healthcare should never depend on postal code or bank account. Our Pet First promise extends beyond shelter walls into every corner of our community where beloved companions need care. Thanks to our extraordinary neighbors, donors, volunteers, and clients who trust us with their animals' health, we invest nearly 80% of all program delivery costs directly into these vital clinics. We Love Adoptions, but we love keeping pets healthy in their forever homes even more. When you support these programs, no pet suffers in silence, no family loses a companion to preventable illness, and no animal goes without dignified care. Because without you, countless pets would endure unnecessary pain. Together, we're strengthening the bonds that make families whole and communities compassionate.

Physical Exams

Routine physical exams are the foundation of preventative care, catching health concerns before they become serious. These visits allow veterinarians to assess overall wellness and guide pet guardians on care. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program makes these essential exams available to families who might otherwise go without.

Vaccines (DAPP, Rabies and FVRCP)

Vaccines protect pets from serious and preventable illnesses like parvovirus, rabies, and feline respiratory diseases. Even indoor pets are at risk of exposure, making vaccines an essential part of their long-term health. Through the HBSPCA Pet Health Program, families can access affordable vaccinations that keep both pets and communities safe.

Flea and Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks can cause serious health problems, from skin irritation to the spread of disease. Prevention is far easier and safer than treatment once infestations occur. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program helps pet families access safe, effective prevention to keep pets itch-free and healthy.

Spay and Neuter

Spay and neuter surgeries prevent unwanted litters, reduce pet overpopulation, and improve overall health. These procedures also lower the risk of certain cancers and unwanted behaviors. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program provides affordable spay/neuter services to support pets, families, and the community.

Microchips

A microchip is a permanent form of identification that helps reunite lost pets with their families. Unlike collars or tags, microchips can’t be removed or lost. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program can provide a microchip and ensure pets in the community have this vital safeguard so they always have a way home.

Nail Trims

Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, pain, and even injury for pets. Regular nail trims are an important part of pet health and mobility, especially for seniors. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program offers this service to help pets stay active and comfortable.

Dental Services

Dental care is often overlooked, but poor oral health can lead to pain, infection, and even heart or kidney issues. Clean teeth and healthy gums improve a pet’s overall well-being and quality of life. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program may be able to assist with dental services so pets can live longer, healthier lives.

Grooming

Regular grooming keeps pets’ coats clean, free from mats, and comfortable. It also provides an opportunity to check for lumps, skin issues, or parasites. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program may be able to support families with essential grooming services, ensuring pets look and feel their best.

End of Life Services

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments for families. Compassionate end-of-life care ensures pets leave this world with dignity and comfort. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program can provide supportive services to help families through this emotional time.

Surgery

Sometimes pets require surgical procedures beyond spay or neuter to relieve pain or restore quality of life. Surgeries such as hernia repair, lump removal, or entropion correction can make a life-changing difference. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program may be able to offer accessible surgical options so more pets can get the care they need.

Getting to a veterinary appointment can be a barrier for many pet guardians. The HBSPCA Pet Health Program offers transportation support so pets can access vital care when their families have no other way. This ensures no pet is left behind due to lack of transportation.

Community Days

Access to food and supplies is just as important as medical care for pet families in need. Community Days hosted by the HBSPCA Pet Health Program help guardians care for their pets with dignity and without financial stress. These events strengthen the bond between pets and people while ensuring animals thrive at home.
