Affordable Pet Health Options Have Not Gone to the Dogs in This Bad Economy

Affordable Pet Health Options Have Not Gone to the Dogs in This Bad Economy

The economy is not only playing havoc with the lives of human beings, but with domesticated animals -- especially dogs and cats -- as well. Luv My Pet, a company that has been meeting the needs of these furry critters since 1976, is helping their owners get through the current financial crisis.

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2008

In an effort to ensure all pet owners can give their cats and dogs proper health care at affordable prices, a company dedicated to providing sensibly-priced pet vaccination clinics has set up shop in PETCO stores in 23 states to provide weekend immunization service.

Luv My Pet, a PETCO partner, offers vaccination clinics operated by state-licensed veterinarians for dogs and cats eight weeks or older. Pet owners can choose value packages for $49 or less that include all the core vaccines aimed at immunizing pets against major diseases.

"We don't want people to lose any four-legged member of their family," says Scott Chaness, CEO of Luv My Pet, Inc., a PETCO partner and the nation's largest provider of affordable pet vaccination clinics. "Luv My Pet is a reasonably priced option that will help ease the costs of pet ownership."

In every state, rabies vaccines are mandated by law and a host of vaccines and preventative medications are recommended to keep pets healthy. "Maintaining this regimen, especially for multiple pets, can add up to a hefty bill. Yet proactively preventing diseases with these annual vaccinations is necessary to actually keep costs down, in the long run," says Luv My Pet's Medical Director, Dr. Frances Vaujin, DVM. "Our commitment is to provide affordable health services without sacrificing the high quality of care that these animals and their families deserve."

Other preventative pet health medications, heartworm products, flea treatments, diagnostic testing, and pet microchipping are crucial to keeping pets healthy, comfortable, and safe. Luv My Pet also provides low-cost options covering a range of these products and services - and will match any price on pet medications. Jennifer Raiman, of St. Augustine, Florida, said "Luv My Pet has been such a help. Besides the good deals on annual vaccinations, I was able to purchase heartworm products at prices that were considerably lower than what was offered at our vet's office."
