This low-cost pet vaccination clinic focuses on preventive care overseen by a wellness veterinarian. TCAP provides a limited selection of preventive services that align with its mission, and a wellness veterinarian will look at every pet before vaccination. Vaccinations are not given while pets remain in vehicles. Issues that require a comprehensive physical exam should be taken to a full-service veterinarian. For safety, dogs must be on short, secure leashes rather than retractable or loose leads, and cats must be in carriers. Pets need to be alert, hydrated, and eating and drinking normally to receive vaccines. Please supervise your pet around others, as TCAP and Gloria Dei are not responsible for the actions of other pets or customers while you wait in line.
