FREE Vaccinations Supported by Petco Love
Petco Love and the Fix’Em Clinic Aim to Stop the Spread of Deadly Preventable Diseases
As Part of Petco Love’s Vaccinated and Loved Initiative to Provide an Additional One Million
Free Pet Vaccines, the Fix’Em Clinic Gives Free Vaccines to Pet Families in Community
Charleston, WV (March 10, 2025) –the Fix’Em Clinic will provide free vaccinations for Charleston, West Virginia, and surrounding area pets. The no-cost vaccines are made possible through Petco Love's national vaccination initiative Vaccinated and Loved, which is providing an additional one million free pet vaccines for family pets in need to existing animal welfare partners, including the Fix’Em Clinic.
Parvovirus and distemper in dogs and panleukopenia in cats — the most prevalent deadly diseases affecting pets — are preventable with a simple vaccine. An estimated 30% of pet parents do not take their pet to a veterinarian annually for preventative care. To ensure the health and wellness of our beloved pets and to address this critical need, the Fix’Em Clinic and Petco Love have partnered to make pet vaccines free and accessible.
The Fix’Em Clinic aims to vaccinate 600 pets through this effort beginning March 10th. Vaccines distributed through the Petco Love initiative will be DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines. Additional vaccinations and services are available at regular cost – visit FixEmClinic.org for more information.
“Thanks to Petco Love, we can offer these important vaccines at no cost to pet owners,” said Rachel Burgess, Executive Director. “We urge community members to take advantage of this free resource to ensure the health and wellness of our community’s pets.”
“Vaccinations are vital to protecting our beloved pets from life-threatening but preventable diseases,” said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. “Our goal is to make these critical vaccines accessible to as many pet parents as possible, breaking down financial barriers and strengthening the human-animal bond.”
In November 2024, Petco Love’s Vaccinated and Loved initiative reached its goal of distributing three million free pet vaccines for family pets, and the organization is determined to reach even more pets in need by providing an additional one million free vaccines. The campaign was launched in August 2021, encouraging Petco Love animal welfare partners to host free vaccine clinics.

About the Fix’Em Clinic
The Fix’Em Clinic is a nonprofit organization that specializes in providing high-volume, high-quality, yet low-cost spay/neuter and wellness services to the community. Our goal is to reduce euthanasia rates in shelters and combat community pet overpopulation by promoting spay/neuter and educating pet owners on the benefits it has for not only your pet, but for the overall community. The only way to control pet overpopulation and the needless deaths of thousands of adoptable animals is by decreasing birth rates. We are accomplishing this at the Fix’Em Clinic by offering spay/neuter services at a cost substantially lower than the average fee in our area. Since our opening in 2018, the Fix’Em Clinic has altered over 33,000 animals in our region!
