The Animal Services Mobile Clinic is on the move and headed to Ormond Beach.
On Monday, June 3, from 8 a.m. to noon, the mobile clinic will be at Cardinal Drive Beach Park, 650 S. Atlantic Ave., Ormond Beach, offering a range of services to ensure the health and safety of pets to Volusia County residents. Services for domestic pets will include vaccinations for rabies, DAPP (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvo), and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus, or feline panleukopenia), alongside microchipping.
Microchipping, which will be provided for free, offers pet owners peace of mind by providing a reliable means of identification. About the size of a grain of rice, the microchips are implanted just under the skin, and with the wave of a hand-held wand over the ID code on the microchip Animal Services will have access to the owner’s name and contact information.
“Microchipping is the best way to ensure that your pets always find their way back home,” Volusia County Animal Services Director Angela Miedema said. “Offering this service free of charge is a huge opportunity for our community and for the well-being of our pets. We have already seen so many happy reunions and want to see that number continue to grow. Microchips are the perfect way to do that, especially as hurricane season approaches.”
Services are available for Volusia County residents on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is required. Pet owners are required to provide identification to verify residency and are encouraged to arrive early to secure their spot. Vaccinations will cost $10; however, microchipping is free of charge for dogs and domestic cats.
