Vet Care
With the lifting of state COVID restrictions, Second Chance is excited to welcome everyone back inside our facilities.
- Masks are recommended in exam rooms and lobbies (due to confined spaces)
- We ask that you limit visitors to two pet owners in a room at one time
- Please continue to observe social distancing when possible.
Curbside service will continue to be available for pet owners who wish to remain in their cars while their pet is brought inside for exams.
Our weekly vaccine clinics are now exclusively by pre-registration – eliminating lines and long waits and allowing us to help more pets. Pet owners will remain outside while their pet is brought inside for registered treatments and promptly returned.
Second Chance Community Veterinary Hospitals can help you care for your pet.
Wellness exams, sick visits, surgery, x-ray, ultrasound, dental care and more. Plus weekly vaccine clinics and low-cost spay/neuter services.
Our hospitals are open to everyone and offer subsidized rates for qualified households as part of our Community Healthy Pet Initiative.

We Need Your Help
Subsidized Pricing
Everyone is welcome at our Community Veterinary Hospitals. Second Chance strives to alleviate the suffering of pets from treatable medical conditions. We offer subsidized rates for those that cannot afford to care for a pet in need. Subsidized pricing provides access to care for pet owners on fixed incomes, ensuring that pets get the medical care they need for treatable medical conditions.
Owners who don’t qualify for subsidized rates receive great veterinary care for their pets and help provide access to care for those who need assistance as well as help pets at our adoption center. It is a win for everyone – especially the pets!
To Qualify For Subsidized Pricing: Your combined household income must be below 150% of the poverty level. Income verification is required. Please bring proof of household income (paystubs, w-2, Social Security statement, etc.) along with a photo id to qualify. Otherwise, the standard veterinary rates apply.
Please note, subsidized pricing is not available to those pet owners that are actively breeding their pets, or for the litters of those breeding pets. Subsidized pricing is meant to help pet owners who have financial restraints that limit their ability to provide veterinary care for their pet. If you are breeding your pet for sale, you are disqualified from this program. You can still welcome to use our programs but at the regular, non-subsidized rates.
Need Help Paying for Your Pet’s Care?
We work very hard to keep your pet’s medical care affordable, but for those who may need to pay over time, Second Chance accepts CareCredit and ScratchPay. Visit their websites to see if one of these options is right for you.
