VACCINE CLINIC
Veterinary Hospital: (530) 241-1658
Vaccinating animals "clinic-style" avoids an office visit fee and allows us to provide the lowest-cost vaccines in the area.
Walk-ins only. First come, first serve. Cats must be in a carrier. NO FERAL CATS.
Microchips are just $30—no appointment needed! Walk in Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Receiving Building B. Or visit our Vaccine Clinic for the same price.
Clinics are held on most Wednesdays, see the calendar. Summer & winter hours:
• May - October: 8 am-10 am
• November - April: 2 pm-4 pm
We will not vaccinate feral cats at the clinic.
