Giving Tuesday WTX is happening right now!
Through November 30th, you can give online at https://cfwtx.salsalabs.org/givingtuesdaywtx21/p/petsclinicoflubbock/ or at any United Supermarket through December 5th (just be sure to put PETS Clinic in the memo line on the check).
For Giving Tuesday WTX this year, we’re focused on buying new equipment, updating the clinic, and adding a wellness room.
Why Update?
Since you have been able to help us provide affordable, accessible care, the need we thought we understood has been magnified! This is a great accomplishment for the clinic because it translates into more animals vaccinated and more spays and neuters. With your help, we need new equipment to add a wellness room.
This will help clients to be seen in a timely matter as we will have extra space for wellness appointments. This extra room will also give a space for our veterinarian to visit with clients for wellness exams during Saturday Clinics.
How Does an Update Fit the P.E.T.S. Clinic Mission?
Financial barriers to wellness care oftentimes result in animals getting sick and this results in families turning over their animals to rescues or shelters. Many times, our shelters and rescues do not have the resources to care for the animal. In the rare case the animal can be cared for, this is yet another dog or cat waiting for a home along with hundreds of healthier animals.
Thank you community for your support, we need you this Giving Tuesday!

Parvo Distemper Reminder LU
P.E.T.S. has been alerted to several cases of distemper in West Texas and the Panhandle.
Canine distemper is a contagious and serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of puppies and dogs.
Canine Parvovirus, or parvo, is a highly-contagious, often fatal, viral disease in dogs that attacks the intestines. It’s commonly spread via feces of infected dogs and symptoms can include diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, depression and loss of appetite.
Vaccination is crucial in preventing canine distemper and parvo. Additionally, if your pup comes down with these diseases after being vaccinated, the manufacturers will pay for treatment.
P.E.T.S. Clinic How to Make a Homemade E-Collar for Dogs
It's an oldie but a goodie video from our friends at the PETS Clinic in Wichita Falls! "How to Make a Homemade E-Collar for Dogs". If you are having any issues with the plastic cones of shame, or need an alternative for any reason, this is a great way to do it.
We are so proud to be partnering with Open Door in Lubbock to make sure everyone and all parts of our community have access to care for their pets. You can read more about PETS providing access to care here on Everything Lubbock's feature: https://bit.ly/3qhmOM7
