Low-cost mobile veterinary clinics are scheduled to return to South El Monte in January, providing residents with access to pet vaccines and basic preventative care through a partnership between the City of South El Monte and Vet Care Pet Clinic.
The clinics will be held at the South El Monte Community Center, 1530 Central Ave., on select Saturdays from 8 to 11 a.m. Confirmed January dates are Jan. 3, Jan. 17, and Jan. 31. A final clinic for 2025 is also scheduled for Dec. 20.
The South El Monte vet clinics bring mobile veterinary services directly into the community, allowing residents to address routine pet health needs without traveling outside the city. The events focus on preventative care, which plays a key role in maintaining animal health and reducing the spread of disease.
Vet Care Pet Clinic Background
Vet Care Pet Clinic is a family-owned veterinary hospital based in Garden Grove that also operates a mobile outreach program across Southern California. Alongside its brick-and-mortar clinic, Vet Care deploys mobile units to cities and community sites to offer accessible veterinary services for dogs and cats.
The organization’s outreach clinics typically provide vaccinations and basic wellness services. The mobile model allows veterinary professionals to reach neighborhoods where access to affordable pet care may be limited due to cost, transportation, or scheduling challenges.
Through partnerships with cities such as South El Monte, Vet Care’s mobile clinics support community-wide animal health while encouraging routine care and responsible pet ownership.
City-Hosted Community Clinics
The City of South El Monte has hosted recurring low-cost pet vaccine clinics as part of its broader community services efforts. The city provides the location and event coordination, while Vet Care supplies licensed veterinary staff and mobile equipment.
These clinics are held at the South El Monte Community Center, a centrally located facility that allows residents from across the city to attend. Events are scheduled in the morning hours and are typically first-come, first-served, with demand often highest early in the day.
Services and pricing vary by event and are determined by the provider. Residents attending the South El Monte vet clinics are advised to bring dogs on leashes and cats in secure carriers. Preparation for wait times is also recommended due to the popularity of the clinics.
January Schedule and Access
The January South El Monte vet clinics will take place on Jan. 3, Jan. 17, and Jan. 31, from 8 to 11 a.m. The Dec. 20 clinic closes out the 2025 schedule at the same location and time.

As pet ownership continues to grow across the San Gabriel Valley, mobile veterinary clinics remain an important resource for residents seeking convenient and affordable preventative care close to home.
