The city of Baldwin Park and the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control has invited residents to attend Vet @ The Park, a free pet wellness clinic set for Sunday.
The clinic is expected to open at 9 a.m. and stop at 1 p.m. in Morgan Park, 4100 Baldwin Park Blvd.
Local pet owners will receive free access to essential veterinary services for their dogs and cats, city officials said.
“This year’s Vet @ The Park reflects Baldwin Park’s ongoing commitment to supporting residents and the animals that are part of our families,” Baldwin Park Mayor Daniel Damian said in a statement. “Through our partnership with DACC, we’re proud to provide a welcoming space where pet owners can access trusted resources, connect with professionals and care for their furry friends.”
The LA County Animal Care Foundation and the nonprofit Wallis Annenberg PetSpace support the pop-up veterinarian clinic. Event organizers said the clinic will offer a wide range of free services to Baldwin Park pet owners while supplies last, including exams, vaccination and microchipping.
“Preventative care plays a vital role in keeping pets healthy and families together,” county DACC Director Marcia Mayeda said in a statement. “By bringing trusted veterinary services into the community at no cost, we’re helping residents take proactive steps to support their pets’ long-term health and well-being.”
Event organizers said dogs must remain leashed, cats must be in carriers at all times and mask-wearing for humans was “strongly recommended.” Sick pets should not be brought to the event. For attendees planning to bring multiple pets to receive medical care, one adult is required for every two adult dogs or litter of puppies.
“While the event is planned to go until 1 p.m., services will be provided on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis as time and supplies allow,” according to the city. “The line for care will be cut off once 200 dogs or 50 cats are signed in to be seen by a licensed professional.”
With the potential for long lines and wait times, event organizers advised attendees to bring chairs and umbrellas.
