Other Important Information for Pet Parents

Organizers say it's important to know what your pet is due for, as this will help the line move quicker. Pet parents can bring records/ vet paperwork if that helps!

For everyone's safety, all cats should be secured in cat carriers and dogs on 6-foot leads and not retractable leashes.

If you need assistance, but are not able to make it to the event Saturday, the Humane Society of West Michigan and the other agencies also have community clinics throughout the year. Please check out the individual organizations for those details.
