Our Clinic 

• VeTouch is a volunteer-based, non-profit veterinary student club that hosts a monthly vaccine clinic for pets of Twin Cities residents receiving low/no income or experiencing houselessness. The veterinary students examine the pets under the supervision of veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

• We provide physical exams, rabies and distemper vaccines, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives for no cost. 

• WE DO NOT PROVIDE SPAYS/NEUTERS.

• Since we only have 1 clinic per month and are not a full-service veterinary clinic, we are unable to see sick pets or pets with serious veterinary conditions.

• We are a walk-in based clinic. Walk-ins are seen on a first-come-first-serve basis, so we recommend coming early to try to secure a spot. We have been experiencing very high demand. Once we reach the maximum number of pets we are able to see for the day, we will not be able to accept any more walk-ins. 

• Do not park in the church parking lot before 10:30 A.M. The parking lot cannot be used for VeTouch clients until after 10:30 A.M. 

Our Policies

• Maximum of 2 pets per owner at one clinic.

• Pets must be on a leash or in a carrier. 

• Animals older than 1 year must be spayed or neutered after their first visit to VeTouch to be seen a second time.

• We will not accommodate pets that are used for breeding, and will not accommodate their litters of puppies/kittens
