Community Clinic
Affordable Care for Pets. Support for Families.
At Dutchess County SPCA, we believe every pet deserves access to compassionate, quality veterinary care. That’s why we offer our Community Clinic Program: a lifeline for pet owners who are struggling to afford private veterinary services.
Whether it’s a routine wellness check, vaccinations, or treatment for minor illness or injury, our goal is to keep pets healthy and in the loving homes they already have.
Our Community Clinic provides services to pets by appointment on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:30am - 3pm.
To learn more about upcoming clinic dates, eligibility guidelines, or how to schedule an appointment for your pet, please call 845-452-7722 x 425 or email wellness@dcspca.org. Please note that we may not be able to respond to voice messages immediately, but we will return phone calls as soon as possible during business hours.
Please bring your dog(s) on a leash and cat(s) inside a cat carrier (one cat per carrier). If we are unable to safely handle an animal, we may not be able to provide the services your pet needs.
