Petco Love, Woods Humane Society launch free quarterly vaccine clinics

By Atascadero News · Tue Feb 24 2026

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Woods Humane Society and Petco Love have announced new free monthly and quarterly vaccine opportunities for local pet owners in 2026.

Beginning Saturday, March 14, Woods will host quarterly, appointment-based Pet Vaccine Clinics from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at both its San Luis Obispo and Atascadero locations. Additional quarterly clinics are scheduled for July 10, Sept. 12 and Dec. 11. The nonprofit expects to provide free vaccinations to more than 100 pets per clinic.

Woods will also offer free walk-in vaccine hours at its San Luis Obispo location on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4 p.m., beginning in February.

The clinics will provide free DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines through Petco Love’s national “Vaccinated and Loved” initiative, which is distributing an additional one million free vaccines to animal welfare partners nationwide. The campaign surpassed three million vaccines distributed in November 2024 and continues expanding to reach more pets in need.

To qualify, pets must be at least six weeks old, healthy and owned. Community outdoor cats are not eligible. Vaccines will not be administered to pets with a history of vaccine reactions or recent illness. Dogs must be leashed, puppies under four months carried, and cats secured in carriers.

Low-cost add-on services — including rabies and Bordetella vaccines, flea treatments, microchips and deworming — will also be available. Appointments for quarterly clinics are required and can be made at WoodsHumaneSociety.org/Vaccines
