Please help us find a loving home for Valko ASAP! He has been with us for several months and we can't continue to keep him in a kennel. He deserves a home where he can run and play. He would do best in an active home with a family that can take him places (hikes, runs/walks, etc). He loves going places! He needs a home WITHOUT cats! Neutered, vaccinated, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He is around 2-3years old and is a Husky/Shepherd mix.

📢 Important Update to Our Clinic Hours

Starting in October, we will be adjusting our schedule going into fall and winter:

🗓️ Saturdays

▪️We will be open the first Saturday of each month from 8am–12pm for appointments as always.

▪️On all other Saturdays, we’ll be open 8–9am for medication pick-ups, boarding drop-offs/pick-ups, and other receptionist-assisted needs (No appointments with the doctor available).

▪️This will NOT affect our dedication to providing 24/7 emergency services to our current clients.

This decision wasn’t made lightly. Unfortunately, we’ve had an increasing number of no call/no shows for Saturday appointments, which tells us Saturday appointment times are no longer being valued or needed by most clients. Instead of continuing those appointment slots, we’re redirecting our availability where it will better serve you.

🗓️ Wednesdays

▪️Every Wednesday (except one noted below), we will now be open 8am–7pm to give more flexibility for those with busy schedules.

▪️The Wednesday before the first Saturday of the month will remain 8am–5pm, so our team can still enjoy family time while also offering extended access to care.

We appreciate your understanding as we make this adjustment. These changes will allow us to continue providing the best care possible for our patients, while also respecting the time of both our clients and our team. ❤️🐾

🦟 West Nile Virus season is here—is your horse protected?

WNV is spread by mosquitoes that have fed on infected birds, and it can lead to serious neurologic issues in horses—like muscle tremors, incoordination, and even the inability to stand. While horses can’t spread it to other horses or humans, mosquitoes can. That’s why vaccination is considered essential protection by equine health experts.

💉 Vaccines like PRESTIGE® 5 + WNV offer trusted protection against West Nile Virus— along with four other common equine diseases.
👉 Contact Affordable Vet Care at 660-359-7808 to schedule Dr. Shelby for your horse's vaccination. https://pbxx.it/vVhjoU

🐾 Phew — what a day at the clinic! 🐾

In just a short 3 hours this morning, we had over 25 pets come through our doors — everything from routine vaccines to sick visits, urgent care, and even a couple emergencies. It was a whirlwind of wagging tails, purrs, and a whole lot of love. 💙

Thank you to all of our amazing clients for your patience (and humor!) as we powered through this busy day. We couldn’t do it without you! 🐶🐱

📸 Enjoy a couple snapshots from today: Dr. Shelby with a sweet kitten here for its very first vaccines (plus a much-needed cup of coffee ☕🐱) and a precious puppy visiting for round 2 of vaccines. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do!

UPDATE: Junior has found a loving home and we are very happy for him and his new family!

Hello. I am looking for a furever home. My last home I was loved very much but unfortunately my elderly had to go into a nursing home. Now I would like to find a new owner with no other pets that would love me and care for me. I am very sweet and l Iove attention. I do need to be kept on a weight management diet per my veterinarian's recommendations with no treats so I can continue to lose weight. I want to live a long healthy life with another family who loves me as much as my previous mom did.

If you are interested in becoming my new owner please call or come to Affordable Vet Care. 660-359-7808 1906 E 8th Street Trenton MO.
I would love to find a new owner.

🌙🐾 We had our very first late night clinic last night, and it was such a success! We had a great turnout, and it was clear that many of you appreciated having a weeknight option for your pets’ care. 💙

We’re thrilled to see how well this is being received! We enjoyed it so much and are looking forward to the next ones!

📅 Upcoming late night clinics:
➡️ Wednesday, October 8th

✨ Stay tuned—an exciting new announcement will be coming soon from our clinic!

Side note: We fully intended to take pictures last night but completely forgot 🤦‍♀️ So the only picture we took was this one admiring our fresh bouquet of flowers from both Dr. Shelby's and Leslie's gardens 😍
