Let Hurricane Harvey foot the bill and take advantage of free veterinary services for the next three months at Emancipet in the East End.
Hurricane Harvey has impacted thousands of Houston families, many of whom were already struggling financially. As families try to get back on their feet, that financial strain comes with the struggle to keep pets healthy.
Emancipet, a nonprofit veterinary clinic located at 910 South Wayside Drive in Houston’s East End, has seen a huge outpouring of support for its initiative to provide free veterinary care to Houston pets whose families were impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
As a result of this generosity, and especially a significant grant from the Alex & Elisabeth Lewyt Charitable Trust and The Humane Society of the United States, and a generous grant from Maddie’s Fund, Emancipet will be providing free veterinary care for three months beginning Saturday, September 9, 2017.

Free Veterinary Services
During the next three months, fees for veterinary services at Emancipet Houston will be waived for pet owners. This includes the services Emancipet has always provided like exams, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and heartworm treatment.
Emancipet’s veterinarians will also treat some illnesses like respiratory, skin, and ear infections, and some injuries like wounds and lacerations, and can perform some medically necessary surgical procedures.
To ensure these funds stretch as far as possible, and to fulfill the goal of keeping pets with their families, this offer is for owned pets only.
Spay/neuter and heartworm treatment require an appointment, and all other services are available on a walk-in basis. Clients will not be asked for any proof of financial need in accessing the services.
