Low Cost Clinics
The Long Beach Bureau of Animal Care Services (ACS) is now providing more frequent low-cost clinics to vaccinate and license your pets for a much more manageable price. Pet owners are invited to attend these clinics, which rotate throughout four Long Beach parks on the second Saturday of each month.

ACS is taking advantage of day-long rates offered by Southern California Veterinary Vaccine Clinic (SCVVC), and scheduling two clinics on the same day. A state-licensed veterinarian from SCVVC will administer vaccinations, with no reservations necessary. Visit www.longbeach.gov/acs for a full list locations, services, and pricing, which beats low-cost prices at many area pet stores.
