Wellness Clinics
Pets bring joy, companionship, and comfort to their owners, and we want to help ensure they receive the veterinary care they need. New to AARCS community programming in 2025, we are proud to offer Compassionate Care Wellness Clinics for Seniors. This special initiative is designed to be a compassionate, low-barrier option to help seniors access essential care for their furry companions.
What Are the Wellness Clinics?
In 2025, AARCS will be hosting four Wellness Clinics aimed at assisting seniors in Calgary with basic veterinary care for their pets. These one-day clinics will provide basic wellness exams and vaccinations to help ensure the health and well-being of pets in our community.
When is the Next Wellness Clinic?
Our first Wellness Clinic took place on March 19, 2025. Stay tuned for our next clinic date! To request an appointment, please fill in the form below and wait to hear from our team. Be sure to check your spam folder in case our correspondence lands there!
