RSPCA Victoria’s first Healthy Pet Day event in Shepparton is on this Friday, October 31, at the Mooroopna Education & Activity Centre (MEAC), where RSPCA experts will provide free check-ups, dog and cat vaccines, pet food, and behavioural advice for local pet owners in need.

“Our expert animal care team provides vaccines, pet check-ups, microchipping, flea and worm treatment, along with behavioural advice, resources and pet food,” said Dr Lauren Roberts from RSPCA. “These services are completely free for valid concession card holders in Greater Shepparton City Council area and would usually cost over $150 all up per animal.”

RSPCA Victoria’s Healthy Pet Days are possible thanks to funding from the Petbarn Foundation. With over 340 animals helped over nine events last financial year, the Healthy Pet Days saved pet owners over $51,300.
