|
June 2009, Los Angeles – On Thursday June 18th, 2009, at 9:30am, Clinico (www.clinico.org) will hold a “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” and formally open the doors of its 2nd spay/neuter clinic in the Los Angeles metro area. The new location is at 957 N. Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA 90731, on the campus of the Los Angeles Animal Services Harbor Animal Care Center. The high quality, low cost services offered by Clinico are an important new option for Los Angeles residents who want to sterilize their pets. Clinico opened its first clinic, in Pico Rivera, one year ago. Clinico’s mission is to provide high quality spay/neuter services at a reasonable price for low income pet owners. By ensuring that pet owners have access to affordable sterilization services, Clinico aims to reduce shelter intake and euthanasia in the Los Angeles area. The opening of Clinico’s 2nd facility is especially important at this time of year, when shelter intake is at its highest due to puppy and kitten season. Avoiding accidental litters is a key strategy for reducing shelter intake and euthanasia. “Clinico is thrilled to open our first location in the city of Los Angeles and to partner with Los Angeles Animal Services to provide high quality, low cost spay/neuter services to pet owners” says Wendy Asman, new Executive Director of Clinico. Clinico employs only top Veterinary staff, utilizing state of the art equipment and offering the highest quality services available. In addition to spay/neuter, other services provided at additional cost and only at the time of surgery include: pain medication, vaccinations, flea/tick treatment, ear mite treatment, FelV FlV testing for cats and micro-chipping services. At a time when the economy has caused many residents to overlook sterilizing their pets, Clinico offers low cost spay/neuter to all Los Angeles area pet owners. Thanks to a generous grant from PetSmart Charities®, even lower subsidized pricing is available to anyone with an annual income below $40,000. Clinico also accepts vouchers and coupons from a variety of organizations, including Los Angeles Animal Services, which can bring costs down even further. Clinico’s current low income prices (prior to application of any coupons or vouchers) are:
Appointments are required for all surgeries and pet owners should call Clinico at 1-888-WE-SPAY-LA or 310-241-0768 to make an appointment. More information is available at www.clinico.org. In addition to “Thursday’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony,” Clinico’s opening and the Harbor Animal Care Center’s 1 year anniversary will be celebrated with a special Adoption Event taking place on Saturday June 20th, 2009, from 11am – 4pm.
