New! community Veterinary clinic

We’re proud to introduce our new Community Veterinary Clinic, expanding our family of services alongside our popular Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic and Spay/Neuter Clinic. With a strong reputation for medical excellence, Pets In Need is further enhancing access to high-quality, accessible care on the Peninsula. 

This animal-wellness initiative aligns with Pets In Need’s mission to ensure every animal in our community receives affordable, routine care. Our Community Veterinary Clinic focuses on preventative services to keep pets healthy, complementing the comprehensive care offered by local full-service veterinary practices. 

We provide select services including:

• Wellness Exams 

• Vaccinations 

• Flea & Tick Prevention 

• Microchipping

• Deworming 

• Basic Diagnostic Testing

• Pet Health Advice

Please note: 
Our clinic is designed for wellness visits only. For emergency or specialized care, we encourage you to consult your primary care veterinarian or a local emergency clinic.

Space fills up quickly so we recommend arriving by 10 am to ensure your pets are seen the same day. If the clinic fills up early, we may not be able to see all clients until the following week.

Online pre-check is required. Please fill out this form by 12 pm the day before the clinic. Any pre-check submitted on the day of the clinic will be applied to the next week’s clinic.

Join us for a kitten meet & greet and book signing with award-winning children’s book author K.M. Selvidge!

"Kloe’s New Start" by K.M. Selvidge is an engaging and heartwarming story that teaches kids about the importance of being true to yourself instead of being defined by a siblings’ behavior and reputation. It covers subjects like learning to make new friends, fitting in, and developing the confidence to try something new. The charming and detailed illustrations by Kateryna Meleshchuk enhance the story.

This chapter book is perfect for children ages 5-11, especially when they may be feeling anxiety when starting something new.

Get your holiday photos with Stanford Claus and his team of elves, meet some adoptable pups, and enjoy giveaways from Shake Shack! Best of all, every dollar supports Pets In Need.

📅 When: Saturday, December 14, Noon - 2 PM
📍 Where: Shake Shack, Stanford Shopping Center

Bring your furry friends (or strike a pose with one of our adoptable pups!) for Pet Photos with Santa, featuring Stanford Athletes. Enjoy treats courtesy of Shake Shack and meet some adorable adoptable pets.

Suggested Donation: $25
Spread the cheer and support a great cause this holiday season!
