Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic Services & Pricing Options
We know vet care can be expensive—but keeping pets healthy shouldn’t be out of reach. Cincinnati Animal CARE hosts low-cost vaccine clinics every Thursday from 1–3 PM at our main shelter (3949 Colerain Ave, back of building).
These services protect not just your pet, but the whole community—vaccines stop disease, microchips reunite families, and preventatives keep pests away.
No appointment needed—just show up!
(Open to all residents, not just those in Hamilton County. If you need a rabies vaccine, please call ahead to confirm a vet is on-site that day.)
Low-Cost Dog Vaccine Packages
Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to protect dogs from dangerous and contagious diseases.

These packages help dogs live longer, healthier lives and reduce risks to both pets and people.

Options for Dog Flea/Tick Preventative
All of these options protect your dog from fleas and ticks for a full month, helping prevent itching, skin infections, and serious diseases like Lyme.
- Provecta - $10 (topical)
- Frontline - $15 (topical)
- Nexgard - $20 (oral, prescription)
Note about the importance of monthly flea preventive:
If fleas get on your pet, they can also bite and feed on people. Once inside, fleas can embed themselves in carpets, furniture, and bedding, making them difficult and expensive to eliminate. The best way to prevent an infestation is by using a monthly flea preventative. Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) is very common in dogs. FAD is an allergic reaction to flea saliva, causing intense itching and skin irritation. Even a single flea bite can trigger a reaction in dogs with FAD, leading to excessive scratching, biting, and licking. This can result in hair loss, skin inflammation, and potential secondary infections.
Low-Cost Cat Vaccine Packages
Cats—whether indoor or outdoor—are vulnerable to several preventable diseases. Our cat vaccine packages include vital protection against viral infections, microchipping for ID, and options for parasite prevention. A healthy cat is a happy companion, and these tools help them stay safe for the long run.
Tier 1 – $15
- FVRCP – A combination vaccine protecting against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia — all highly contagious, sometimes fatal illnesses.
- Microchip – Gives your cat the best chance of being found and returned if lost.
Tier 2– $20
Includes everything in Tier 1 (FVRCP and Microchip), plus:
- Dewormer – Clears intestinal parasites that can cause weight loss, diarrhea, and illness in cats (and can be passed to people).
Tier 3– $35
Includes everything in Tier 2 (FVRCP, Microchip, Dewormer), plus:
- Rabies – Protects your cat and community from this deadly virus; rabies vaccination is also legally required.
