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 or 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.​​
