A critical part of your pet's health is ensuring vaccinations and treatments are up to date. SEAACA offers the public and their pets: low-cost vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment and microchip IDs to the public.

If you are coming to have your pet vaccinated at SEAACA, please be sure to bring your pet’s previous vaccination records from home.

A current rabies vaccination is required by law in order to license your dog. The other vaccinations are important as part of your dog's ongoing health program. Cat's need special vaccinations also to ensure they lead healthy fun-loving lives.

SEAACA OFFERS SINGLE AND MULTIPLE PACKS OF FLEA CONTROL PRODUCTS

In order to best protect your pet, SEAACA’s Vaccination Clinic services are limited only to healthy dogs and cats with no current signs of illness or injury and no history of vaccine reactions, autoimmune diseases, seizures, or other conditions that could potentially put your pet’s health at an increased risk.  Pets with any of the above mentioned conditions will be denied.  If your pet does not meet these requirements, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with your local veterinarian where your pet can receive a thorough examination and more personalized care can be provided.  This policy is in place to best protect the health and safety of your pet seeing as we are a high volume vaccination clinic that does not offer services to the public beyond vaccines, microchips, and basic deworming and flea control.

Spay and Neuter Information Animal Care Services

Why Spay and Neuter Your Pets?

SEAACA is a strong proponent of altering animals. The most important reason to alter your pet is to prevent more litters of animals. Did you know pet overpopulation is the leading cause of death for dogs and cats? Shelters are overburdened with too many homeless animals. Not all of them will be adopted. Every litter born reduces the chances for other animals to find homes. Until the numbers of cats and dogs drop significantly, many will be humanely euthanized because there is no place for them.

Benefits to You and Your Pet

Spayed and neutered pets are:

• Healthier, so you save on the cost of vet care
• Have better temperaments
• Less prone to bite or act aggressively
• Less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights
• More affectionate companions
• Naturally protective of their family
• Unlikely to spray and mark territory
• Never in heat, never pregnant, never giving birth to an unwanted litter
• Qualify for reduced license fee each year

Early Spaying and Neutering

SEAACA is a proponent of Early Spay/Neuter. Altering pets at a young age diminishes or eliminates deadly cancers of the breast, uterus, ovaries and testicles, and reduces the possibility of prostate disease. Veterinarians indicate surgery on puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks is safe and recovery is faster.

Why Wait?

Communities spend millions of dollars to pick up, shelter, treat, try to place and euthanize unwanted animals. Unwanted animals on the streets suffer from sickness, hunger, abuse, and often cause accidents. The toll in misery is enormous.

A community that adopts instead of breeds is a more humane, safer and richer place. Check the internet or directories for a Veterinarian near your home or call one of our Partners:

PREVENTING UNWANTED LITTERS BEFORE ACCESS TO SPAY & 

NEUTER

Due to industry wide veterinarian shortages, obtaining spay/neuter services for your pet may be difficult. Until you are able to have your pet spayed/neutered, below are some tips to preventing mating and unwanted pregnancy/litters:

• Implement the use of wraps and diapers to prevent reproductive contact. There is an array of options for both male and females including those that are washable.

• Keep male and female pets of the same species separate, especially when you are not around to monitor their interactions. This includes animals that are genetically related such as a mother and one of her offspring or a brother and sister. Although the animals may be from the same bloodline, it does not mean that they are unable to reproduce. Furthermore, inbred offspring are more likely to have hereditary abnormalities, higher mortality rates and lower growth rates.

• Do not let your pet(s) roam free in the neighborhood. Keep your pet(s) of the opposite sex away from other pets as it may result in an unwanted pregnancy/litters. 

• Both dogs and cats can reproduce multiple litters a year, so even if your female pet has offspring, it does not mean that additional litters will stop.

• Schedule your pet’s spay/neuter appointment as quickly as possible to prevent unwanted behavior and unwanted pregnancy/litters. 

Welcome to SEAACA's Veterinarian Information Series Drs. Corner

Pet ownership is a privilege. Having a fur member of your family will bring years of joy, friendship and companionship. There is also a responsibility in owning a pet. It goes beyond meeting their basic needs for shelter and nutrition.

It also requires attention to other important considerations including:

• Establishing an ongoing relationship with a Veterinarian to provide regular veterinary wellness exams and who will know your pet's medical history in the event of illness or injury
• Keeping permanent and accessible medical records, licensing information and shot history
• Keeping all vaccinations up to date as part of your pet's wellness plan
• Parasite prevention-ensuring all monthly preventive care is administered in a timely manner
• Ensuring proper nutrition for all life stages, breed and activity level
• Spay and neutering
• Exercise, training, behavior
• Grooming
• Dental care
• Pet identification (microchip with current registration information, identification tag, and current photograph)

Maximizing an animal's health and well-being requires basic preventative health care as well as providing for a safe environment free of hazards and toxins. It is important to maintain control of your pet outdoors and to keep them safe from being lost, injured by vehicles, or by other animals. Responsible pet ownership requires you to prevent your pet from harming other animals or humans plus being a good neighbor when it comes to barking or digging.

Adopting a dog or cat can be one of the most rewarding experiences life has to offer for both the owner and the animal. Friendship, loyalty and unconditional love are just a few of the wonderful experiences awaiting such a decision. SEAACA's Animal Care Center has wonderful animals just waiting for someone to take them home.
