The fully equipped mobile pet clinic starts bringing essential veterinary care directly into neighborhoods on Saturday, July 18.

This is part of the city's effort to encourage responsible pet ownership and expand access to critical pet services. Just since the start of this fiscal year, Fort Worth Animal Care & Control has performed more than 5,335 spay and neuter surgeries at its shelter facilities.

With this new mobile veterinary trailer, the department will be able to build on that momentum by meeting residents where they are and removing barriers to care.

This will help reduce the number of homeless animals by preventing unplanned litters. Spaying and neutering pets also provides key health benefits, including lower risk of cancer and less aggressive behavior.

The trailer is outfitted with modern medical equipment that will allow the city's licensed veterinarians to perform spay and neuter surgeries, administer vaccinations, and provide microchipping services.

The clinic will visit select neighborhoods, where residents can drop off their pets for scheduled services and pick them up the same day.

Appointments will be available through an online registration portal. Learn more about the Chip & Snip mobile clinic here.
