Second Chance, Teddy Bear Pools Unite to Promote Pet Health

CHICOPEE — Second Chance Animal Services and Teddy Bear Pools and Spas in Chicopee announced a community vaccine clinic offering free distemper and parvo vaccinations for dogs and cats. This event will be held at Teddy Bear Pools at 41 East Street on Friday, July 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to free distemper vaccines, rabies vaccinations will be available for $18, and microchipping services will be offered for $22. Free small pet beds will also be distributed by Second Chance while supplies last.

This community vaccine clinic is part of Second Chance’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the health and well-being of pets. With a mission to improve the lives of animals and the people who love them, Second Chance Animal Services is dedicated to providing essential veterinary care in accessible and convenient locations.

Pet owners are encouraged to take advantage of this clinic, made possible by a grant from PetcoLove. All services will be administered by Second Chance veterinary professionals.
