Request: ASPCA Pet Vaccination Truck
Archived on 09/16/2009
I have a puppy. She is 5 months old and she hasn't received her shots yet. Is there a free ASPCA truck in the Bronx where I live? I heard you could use your medicaid for the shots. If not can you recommend an inexpensive vet? I know she needs a lot of shots. Her name is Snowball, she a red nose pit bull mixed with a jack russell. Thank you.

I don't know about a traveling vet truck, but I wonder what you mean by "lots of shots". A dog this age should only need 2 or maybe 3 (depending on the vet) of the 7-way and a rabies vacine. This shouldn't cost over $80.00 and it's not all at once. (03/06/2009)

Where we live they have a rabies clinic in the summer time and springtime. It is usually at a vet and they do it outside and the cost is minimal, like 7 dollars for a rabies and 7 dollars for a parvo shot.
I would check at the vet's and ask what the charge is for an initial visit, and then go to the rabies clinics if they have them there. If not ask the vet if there is a discount on first visits. Hope this helps. (03/06/2009)

RE: ASPCA Pet Vaccination Truck
Low income pet owners in New York City's five boroughs with proof of public assistance such as Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, Disability, Food Stamps, or Public Housing qualify for free spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, distemper vaccination, e-collar, and nail trim (I am quoting from the ASPCA site).
To find out about the mobile clinic schedule: aspca.org
Also, you should call: (877) SPAY-NYC, where you can (and I keep quoting):
Learn how to become eligible for ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic services.
Find out the minimum requirements prior to booking a spay/neuter appointment.
Schedule a TNR spay/neuter appointment.
Request traps for your TNR project.
Communicate any mobile spay/neuter clinic post-operative issues. Ask questions or express concerns about ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics.
Thanks for your question/posting, Felicita, which helped me, a new puppy owner looking for low/no cost vaccinations for March. Good luck to you and keep taking care of Snowball as you have been doing so far. I am positive that in her short life the love she has been receiving from you has been more nourishing than the shots, which you are planning to give her as well anyway.
