Wilmington clinic offers low-cost pet medical care

A new Wilmington clinic offering low-cost veterinary services will have a grand opening at noon Friday.

Faithful Friends Animal Society Veterinary Clinic at 10 Germay Drive operates next door to the Faithful Friends shelter.

The clinic provides affordable medical care for family pets and community cats and works to avoid preventable euthanasia or medical neglect due to financial constraints.

Wellness and non-urgent sick care, such as treating eye, skin and ear infections, sneezing with discharge, arthritis in seniors, mouth/teeth infections and skin masses/growths cost about $35 per exam.

Other services include spay/neuters, dental exams, surgeries/non-urgent procedures, grooming, nail trims, micro-chipping, vaccines and end-of-life services.

The clinic does not perform urgent, emergency or advanced sick care.

Local, licensed veterinarians provide all services. Proceeds from the Veterinary Clinic fund the care of homeless animals at the Faithful Friends shelter.

Tours will be given Friday until 2 p.m.

Appointments are required for services. Call (302) 427-8514, ext. 115. Due to limited staffing, it might take up to 72 business hours for a return call.

Fees must be paid in full at the time of service. Cash or credit only. No checks are accepted. Visit www.faithfulfriends.us for more information
