🐾We are providing Free Vaccines and Microchips this Wednesday from 9am to 11am at Forest Park in Ottawa KS🐾
Thank you to the ASPCA and for providing the supplies!

This is a drive-through, first come first serve event.
☑️Enter at the main entrance on the South end by the pool and wind your way up and around to the trailer parked by the dog park.
☑️Stay in your car until it is your turn to be served at Prairie Paws's mobile vet clinic.
☑️Keep in mind that arriving before 9am can make it hard for us to get set up and can extend your wait time.
☑️Medical records are delivered electronically after the clinic and can take up to 7 days to be generated. Email addresses are required.
☑️Cats must be in carriers and dogs must be on leashes, if you need to borrow a cat carrier you can do so at Prairie Paws any time during our open hours.
☑️You do not have to live in Franklin County to participate, this event is open to everyone.
☑️ The bundle includes a microchip, rabies vaccine for pets over 3mo of age, FVRCP for cats, DAPPV for dogs.
☑️There is no appointment needed, join the line between 9am and 11am to be served.
☑️While this clinic doesn't verify residency or financial status, if these services are affordable to you at your regular veterinarian, we ask that you continue to support those businesses so that we can focus our resources on pets that would otherwise go unvaccinated.
