Animal Care Clinic San Luis Obispo Veterinary Hospital

As part of our vision and mission of Animal Care Clinic, community service is very important to us and our involvement in our community. We are always looking for ways we can be of service other than what we supply for our clients everyday.

The Animal Care Clinic 2010 Open House and Wine Gala is now coming up!  June 27th from 2-6 PM, we will have our doors open for anyone to stop by for wine tasting, hospital tours, educational displays, yummy local food, and a silent auction.  This year proceeds will be benefiting American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and Guide Dogs for the Blind.  This event has been lots of fun in the past and we are hoping for another good turnout this year!  We are thrilled to have wineries pouring tastings from all over San Luis Obispo county including Wild Horse, Four Vines, Peloton, Red Head Ranch, Tolosa and Saucelito!  New to the event this year will be a chocolate tasting booth provided by Tropical Chocolates.  Or silent auction item list is growing everyday and so far has some really cool stuff!  Beautiful prints by local photographers, a cruiser bicycle from Art’s Cyclery, shadow an Animal Care Clinic doctor for a day, Pampered Chef, awesome gift baskets and of course lots of wine!  Don’t miss out!!

The American Cancer Society is an organization near to our hearts as we are always active participants in Relay For Life each year. For more information on the American Cancer Society, click here.  This year the event will be held on July 17-18 at Laguna Middle School.  We would love for you to stop by and visit us or join our team!  If you would like to donate to our Relay for Life Team please click here to link to the donation site.

Each holiday season we choose a charity we want to highlight.  In the past this has included Heifer International’s Arc project and Women At Risk.  Throughout the year, as various dates come up, many of our employees have worked with Brighten A Corner to help renovate deserving projects.

We really enjoy having students from the Grizzly Academy Charter School coming to volunteer with us. They are always ready to pitch in a hand by restraining and comforting pets in our care. By job shadowing with us they earn credits, but we think we get the better end of the deal!

We are always looking for more ways to get involved! If you have any ideas for us or would like to become more involved in our current activities, please let us know.
