GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The BISSELL Pet Foundation is holding a free pet vaccine clinic this weekend.
The event is scheduled to be held Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
We’re told all pet parents are encouraged to bring in cats and dogs that are at least eight weeks old to BISSELL’s headquarters, where they will be vaccinated, microchipped, licensed and tested for heartworms, free of charge.
"We know that right now, it can be challenging to get scheduled in a vet clinic," says Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Brittany Schlacter. "We want to remove the barrier of any type of cost to get pets vaccinated."
BISSELL asks attendees to transport cats inside carriers and to have all dogs on leashes. The organization also asks pet parents to bring their pets’ up-to-date vaccination records with them.
"To goal is to provide services to 600 pets during that day, so that's cats and dogs, and we're just excited for this collaboration and to make a difference in the community," Schlacter added.
