All Pets Animal Hospital Announces Free Services for Shelter Pets

All Pets Animal Hospital, with veterinary offices in Rogers and Bentonville, will provide any dog or cat adopted from a participating animal shelter before December 31 with a free examination, free initial vaccines, and free diagnostics, pet food, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. The approximate value of free products and services is $200.

“There are hundreds of dogs and cats waiting on homes in area shelters,” said Dr. Wayne Wolfenkoehler, founding veterinarian at All Pets Animal Hospital. “We hope the gift we’re providing will be the incentive more people need to go ahead and bring a pet into their home in time for Christmas.”

Five area shelters are participating with All Pets Animal Hospital in this limited-time offer: the Rogers Humane Society, Rogers Animal Services, Centerton Animal Shelter, Bella Vista Animal Shelter and the Springdale Animal Shelter. Dogs and cats adopted from these shelters before the end of the year should schedule their pet at All Pets Animal Hospital and present their adoption certificate to receive their free services.

Included in the list of free services for dogs are a pet examination, heartworm test, fecal test and deworming, rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccines, a bag of Hill’s Science Diet pet food, a 6-month supply of heartworm preventative, and flea/tick preventative. Cats receive the same package except that a feline leukemia test replaces the heartworm test and preventative.

Dr. Wolfenkoehler said he was moved to take action to assist shelter pet adoptions after he adopted a puppy being fostered from an area shelter. Shortly afterward, photos of the puppy’s mother and siblings appeared on the shelter website.

“There were littermates of my own dog who needed homes. But there were so many other potentially great family pets who also needed a chance. We wanted to do what we could to encourage adoption of shelter pets.”

Wolfenkoehler called the campaign Bring Them Home for Christmas and launched it in 2018. Now in its second year, All Pets Animal Hospital hopes to broaden public awareness of the offer so that more pets may be adopted.

All Pets Animal Hospital has been serving clients in Bentonville since 1990 and opened a second location in Rogers in 2018. They provide complete medical, surgical, dental care and boarding services for family pets, including preventive wellness services as well as acute care for illness and injury.
