Pet owners in Melton will be able to access a special RSPCA service on Thursday, June 27.

Healthy Pet Day will take place at Melton South Community Centre and will run from 10am – 4pm.

The free check up is led by RSPCA experts and covers a broad scope of issues.

RSPCA Victoria community outreach manager, Dr Lauren Roberts, said the appointments were beneficial for both animal and person.

“These services are completely free … and would cost over $150 all up per animal,” she said.

“We want to keep the local pets happy and healthy for years to come, and pet owners in need will have access to… the best possible service thanks to our friendly vets, vet nurses and animal behaviourists.”

Dr Roberts said the healthy pet day offers a range of services.

“Our expert animal care team provides vaccines, pet check-ups, microchipping, flea and worm treatment, along with behavioural advice, resources, and pet food.”

Every animal requires a separate appointment to ensure they receive the care they need. Cats must be in a secure carry cage and dogs must be on a lead.

Attendees must be over 18, a resident within the Melton municipality, and have a valid concession or health care card.
