📢 Exciting News from the HSMC Clinic! 📢

Something BIG is on the way! 🎉 The HSMC Clinic is thrilled to announce that we will soon be expanding our services to include an online pharmacy! 🐾💊

We receive an overwhelming number of prescription requests, and this new service will make it easier than ever for you to get the medications your pets need—directly from us. Once the pharmacy is live, the clinic will no longer approve third-party pharmacy prescriptions (except for Chewy).

Why You’ll Love Our Online Pharmacy:
✅ Hassle-free ordering process.
✅ Competitive pricing on medications.
✅ Convenient home delivery options.

We understand this change may be an adjustment for some. To help, we’re offering the option to request a paper prescription for a $10 fee. These requests will have a quick 24-hour turnaround—no appointment is needed.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible while continuing to provide the best care for you and your furry family members. 🐶🐱

If you have any questions about this change or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the clinic at 352-873-8606 opt 2, or email [email protected]. Stay tuned for the official launch date of our online pharmacy—it's coming soon!

Thank you for your continued trust in the HSMC Clinic! 💚

Dinkus can't wait to find his fur-ever home! He has been at the Humane Society for 1,592 days! Dinkus is 7 years old and weighs 60 pounds. This silly goofball was originally transferred to us on December 10th, 2019, from a local shelter. Dinkus would do best in a home with children over 12, no other animals, and a tall sturdy fence. Despite being picky, Dinkus is loving, smart, and funny! He can't wait to go home for the holidays!

12/13/2024

This holiday season, we are asking for support with essential items that provide the animals in our care with comfort and love while they wait for their forever homes. With your help, our wish of helping the homeless animals in our community is one step closer to being granted. Thank you for making sure every animal feels the magic of the season!
