On July 18, 2026 our clinic was full of wagging tails, big smiles, sloppy kisses, and some seriously adorable faces.
We welcomed 26 pit bulls and bully breed dogs for a special Pit Bull Wellness Event, giving these pups access to important preventive veterinary care at a price their families could afford.
Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, each dog received a wellness exam, vaccines, heartworm test, microchip, and heartworm prevention for just a $15 co-pay.
And honestly? We loved every minute of it.
Why This Day Mattered
Pit bull-type dogs are some of the most common dogs found in animal shelters. We want to do everything we can to help keep them from ending up there in the first place. Sometimes, something as simple as affordable veterinary care can make a big difference.
A vaccine can prevent a serious illness. A microchip can help a lost dog get back home. Heartworm testing and prevention can protect a dog from a dangerous and expensive disease. And a wellness exam gives families a chance to make sure their pet is healthy and catch potential concerns early.
Keeping Pets Healthy and Families Together
At Planned PEThood, we talk a lot about prevention because we see firsthand how much it matters.
Helping a pet before there is a crisis is better for everyone – the pet, the family, and our already-overburdened animal shelters.
That’s why we work to make spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness care, and other basic veterinary services more accessible to families throughout our community.
On July 18, that meant helping 26 dogs get the care they needed while staying right where they belong, with their families.
Of course, it also meant our camera roll was completely taken over by cute faces, happy tails, and more than a few big personalities!
We are incredibly thankful to the anonymous donor who made this day possible, to our team for giving each pup lots of care and attention, and to all the families who trusted us with their dogs.
And we can’t wait to do it again later this year.
