Schedule a Wellness Appointment
Wellness Clinic
Schedule a general wellness visit for your pet at BARC’s Wellness Center. These appointments are for first-time visits and annual care, including core vaccinations, rabies vaccines, heartworm testing, microchipping, flea and heartworm prevention, and other routine preventative services.
Medication Refill
If your pet is an established Wellness Center client, you may be eligible to schedule a convenient pick-up appointment for flea or heartworm prevention without bringing your pet in. Restrictions apply, and both your pet and account must meet eligibility requirements.
Please check with our team before scheduling by emailing BARCwellness@houstontx.gov.
Foster Clinic
These appointments are reserved exclusively for pets currently in BARC foster care. We are unable to provide services for fosters from other organizations. Foster Clinic appointments are for routine, non-emergency care and are available by appointment only.
Questions? Please email our Foster Team at BARCfoster@houstontx.gov or call
