Luv My Pet is a mobile clinic where it provides affordable pet vaccinations for dogs, cats, and other pets in Petco stores. They were founded back in '76 and are available in about 20 states. State-licensed vets administer vaccinations and other vet services on weeknights and weekends at low-costs and at convenient times (you just type in your zip code and see which nearest Petco location will have the clinic make an appearance; the dates and times will be listed). There are no office visit fees, and most core vaccines/combo packs are less than $60.
For pups, they offer:
+a 'Puppy Pack' (that includes the 5 or 6 in 1 (distemper/parvo), Corona, Bordetella, Round/Hookworm Dewormer)
+a 'Dog Pack' (a rabies shot, 6 or 6 in 1 (distemper/parvo) and Bordetella)
+a 'Super Dog Pack' (5 or 6 in 1 (distemper/parvo, Bordetella, a heartworm test, and a heartworm & tick disease (4DX) test)
+a 'Superior Dog Pack' (5 or 6 in 1 (distemper/parvo), Bordetella, heartworm & tick disease (4DX) test, and a fecal test).
For kittens/cats, they offer:
+a 'Kitten Pack' (3 in 1 (distemper combo), feline leukemia vaccination, Round/Hookworm dewormer)
+'Super Kitten Pack' (in addition to the 'Kitten Pack,' a Felv/FIV/Heartworm test is added)
+a 'Cat Pack' (a rabies shot, 3 in 1 distemper combo, and the feline leukemia vaccination), and a 'Super Cat Pack' (a rabies shot, 3 in 1 distemper combo, feline leukemia vaccination, and a Felv/FIV/Heartworm test).
You can also opt to get individual services for the vaccinations (DHPP, DHPP4L, Rabies (just make sure you bring your previous rabies tag/receipt/hospital docs with you), Leptospirosis, Lyme, Canine Influenza Vaccine, a heartworm test, a fecal test (you fill out a self-addressed postcard where the lab will send you the results; you bring the fecal testing kit back home with you where you put in a specific-sized stool sample in the small container provided that has liquid in it; the S&H is already paid for, so you just drop it off at any mailbox - very convenient!), microchipping (that includes a lifetime registration), tapeworm/round/hookworm dewormers, etc.). There are also heartworm and flea & tick pet medications and preventatives available for you to purchase at a lower cost. It's best if you go early as there is quite a long line, but it usually moves quickly as it's pretty systematic; one of the vet techs will have you fill out basic information on a clipboard; you check which services you want; you go into their 'mobile clinic' that's in a minivan, get seen by the vet and his/her assistants, have your pet receive the services, can squeeze in quick questions, come back out, make your way back into the Petco store, pay, get a receipt, and go on your merry way. If your your pet is due for a vaccine and/or your vet is unavailable on the weekends (and you don't want to pay for an office visit and an overpriced vaccination), check out Luv My Pet - they're quite trustworthy, and your wallet (and your pet) will thank you for being responsible :D read more
