According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, veterinary care is out of reach for the pets of one of every four dog or cat owners.
| A dog named Cowboy was among pets that received an exam during a pet Wellness Clinic at Southeast Seattle Senior Center. The Seattle Humane team that conducted the clinic included Dr. Jessica Reed (right), vice president of veterinary services. |
To counter that shortcoming, Seattle Humane’s Community Medicine program provides affordable and accessible wellness care, vaccinations, and microchips. Wellness Clinic appointments are offered at the agency’s Bellevue campus and pop-up sites. Examples of the latter include Southeast Seattle Senior Center, where pets and their owners received some attention from the Community Medicine team Exams for pets can be scheduled at 425-649-7560 or vets@seattlehumane.org.
