DAPPV helps protect against distemper and parvovirus in dogs, and FVRCP helps protect against panleukopenia in cats. These are some of the most common deadly diseases impacting pets and are preventable with a simple vaccine.

PCAS aims to vaccinate 600 pets through this effort at its regular vaccine clinics Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The clinics also offer a variety of other low-cost vaccines, tests, microchips and exams.
