RSPCA Victoria is making it’s return to Melbourne’s western suburbs to offer more low-cost pet vaccination days to locals in April.

The clinics, run by an RSPCA Victoria vet, are aimed at making veterinary care more accessible for people and their pets, during the cost-of living crisis.

RSPCA Victoria will arrive in Kings Park, on Thursday, April 11, at the Westvale Community Centre. The team will also be in Melton on Wednesday, April 24, at the third Melton Scout Hall.

Speaking about the clinics, RSPCA Victoria head of prevention Rebecca Cook said they were looking forward to returning to familiar clinic locations.

“At our last clinic in Melton we saw 51 local pets and their owners, and we can’t wait to hit the road again and meet more furry friends,” Ms Cook said.

“We have now held 57 low-cost vaccination events across Melbourne and saved each pet owner at least $50 on average per pet.”

Appointments at each clinic must be booked online in advance with limited places available. Those with more than one pet must book a separate appointment for each animal.

For $59.00, a dog or cat will receive their preventative vaccines and be checked by an RSPCA veterinarian to ensure they are fit for their vaccinations.

Due to nation-wide shortages of the F3 vaccine, the team are currently unable to vaccinate cats, however, can still do basic health checks.

Pet owners can also receive professional advice on how to keep them healthy now and into the future.
