Happy Friday, Harlingen! 💙🐶🐱

Before the weekend fun begins, this is your gentle reminder to double-check your pet’s ID tags and microchip info. It only takes a moment — but it can make all the difference if they ever wander off.

Wishing you and your furry companions a cozy, safe, tail-wagging weekend! ✨🐾

🐾 Attention Applicants!
Here’s a quick guide to help you understand how the $40/$50 Spay & Neuter Program works:

👉 When you apply and select a date/time, that’s not your pet’s surgery appointment — it’s the day you’ll visit our office to turn in your documents and verify eligibility.
Once approved, you’ll receive a voucher to take to Arroyo Veterinary Clinic, where you’ll schedule your pet’s surgery and pay the program fee ($40 for cats / $50 for dogs).

💙 Please note: Fees are non-refundable.
📞 For any questions or more information, contact us at (956) 216-5220 or visit us at 502 E Tyler Ave, Harlingen, TX 78550.
