SPCA of Texas Offers FREE Pet Vaccines Sunday, June 9th at Myron K. Martin Spay/Neuter & Veterinary Clinic

DALLAS — The SPCA of Texas will offer FREE combination vaccines—DHPPV for dogs and FVRCP for cats—at the Myron K. Martin Spay/Neuter & Veterinary Clinic (2400 Lone Star Dr., Dallas, TX 75212) from 8 a.m. to noon, Sunday, June 9, 2024. The no-cost vaccines will be provided through the generosity of Petco Love in an effort to keep community pets healthy and help stop the spread of deadly, yet preventable diseases in dogs and cats.

First-come, first-served. Vaccines included will be rabies and DHPP for dogs and FVRCP for cats. All dogs must be on a leash and all cats in carriers.

Offering free vaccines is one more way the SPCA of Texas helps keep pets in their loving homes. Combination vaccines protect animals from more than one disease.

The DHPP canine vaccine is a “5 in 1” vaccination that prevents two types of hepatitis, distemper, parainfluenza and parvovirus. It is recommended that dogs receive the DHPP vaccine at 8, 12 and 16 weeks, one year later, and then one to three years after that.

FVRCP is a combination vaccine that protects cats from feline herpesvirus 1 and feline calicivirus, which both cause upper respiratory tract disease. It is recommended for both indoor and outdoor cats as a core vaccine.
