What to Bring
Important reminders before coming to a clinic:
- Proof of one of the following: Food Stamps, Medicaid Medical Assistance Program, Rite Care, Child Care Assistance, Subsidized Housing, WIC, FIP, SSI, SSDI, TDI, or Heating Assistance.
- Pets should be on leash or in a carrier. If you don’t have a leash or a carrier, leave your pet in the car and we will loan you one to get them inside. Or you can come the day before to pick one up. Please call us at 401-846-0592 ext. 119 and we would be happy to help.
- Any past medical history you may have on your pet, including a previous rabies vaccination certificate if you have one available (veterinary record forms are not applicable). Vaccines provided at the clinic are good for one year unless proof of current rabies vaccination can be provided. Current vaccinations are those that do not exceed 30 days past the due date. If a rabies certificate is provided and current then vaccines are valid for a three-year period.
- We cannot handle animals that may be aggressive toward people. If your animal exhibits signs of aggression in unfamiliar surroundings, please contact us ahead of time.
- We do not accept feral cats at any of the vaccination clinics.
- Due to limited waiting space, please refrain from bringing friends or family.
- We accept cash or credit only. No checks please. We cannot accept any bills larger $50.
FAQs
Our Vaccine Clinics are for cats and dogs only. We ask that all dogs are leashed and all cats are in carriers.
Unfortunately, transportation to the Potter League is the responsibility of the client. We do not offer any transportation at this time, however there is a RIPTA bus stop located on West Main Rd in front of Stop & Shop (on the street). We are approximately a 10 minute walk from there.
Absolutely, yes.
If your pet is aggressive towards other animals or people, please notify the staff upon arrival and we will advise how we can best serve you. The safety of your pet, other clients and patients and our safety is of the utmost importance to us.
