Having a pet is a lot like caring for a small person. You need to feed them, clean them, ensure they get adequate exercise and take them to regular health checkups.
Veterinary visits can be pricey, though. When the appointment wraps up, and Fido or Whiskers is ready to go home, the invoice can be tough on your budget.
Fortunately, there’s a way to get up to two of your pets examined for free, and the process is simple and straightforward.
If your dog or cat is due for a physical, be sure to grab this coupon before you head to the clinic.
Here’s how to get a complimentary exam for your pet:
How to Score a Free Pet Exam at VCA Animal Hospital
VCA Animal Hospital, a nationwide chain with locations across 43 states and five Canadian provinces, is providing free pet health exams. Click here to locate the nearest facility.
On VCA’s promotional page, simply type in your first and last name, email address, phone number and ZIP code, then submit. You’ll immediately receive a coupon for a no-cost health exam in your inbox.
This offer is available to new clients only, and the coupon covers up to two pets.
What does the exam include? It covers the veterinarian’s time and the physical assessment itself, which at VCA typically costs about $52.70 per pet. So if you bring two animals, this coupon could be worth more than $105!
The coupon does not include specialty services like boarding, grooming, prescriptions or retail purchases — those incur additional fees, or you can explore budget-friendly options like DIY grooming or seeking discounts through a pet food bank.
The coupon remains valid for three months, giving you ample time to arrange an appointment for your dog or cat.
So why wait? Book your pet’s checkup now. Your furry friend will appreciate it!
