Killeen Animal Services partners for free vaccines

KILLEEN, Texas (Oct. 15, 2024) ­­- The City of Killeen Animal Services Department has partnered with Petco Love to provide free vaccinations for Killeen area pets Saturday, Nov. 9, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Killeen Special Events Center (3301 South WS Young Drive).

The clinic will be hosted in a drive-through format and vaccines will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure safety of pets and people, all attending pets must be on a leash or in a pet safe carrier.

The vaccines are made possible through Petco Love's national vaccination initiative.

"We are proud to continue our partnership with PetcoLove to offer free vaccines," said Jessica Green, Killeen Animal Services Director. "This is an amazing opportunity for pet owners to receive these important vaccines free of charge. We have had huge success with this program as a Petco Love partner, and we will continue to be dedicated to improving the lives of pets through this initiative."

Vaccines distributed through the Petco Love initiative will be the DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines. These vaccines are aimed at parvovirus and distemper in dogs and panleukopenia in cats, the most prevalent deadly diseases affecting pets.
