Big news for pet parents in Austin! The renowned nonprofit Emancipet is gearing up to open a game-changing veterinary clinic that's going to make pet healthcare accessible like never before. Say goodbye to sky-high bills for your furry friend's dental and surgical needs!

Emancipet's Groundbreaking Move April 2024 marks the grand opening of Emancipet’s Dental and Surgical Center in Austin. This isn't just any clinic—it's a beacon of hope for affordable pet care. Offering a range of low-cost services, including crucial dental cleanings, extractions, and soft tissue surgeries, Emancipet is about to change the game for pet healthcare.

A Dream Come True Amy Mills, Emancipet's president and CEO, shares her enthusiasm, "This new center is the realization of a long-held dream for Emancipet and our community." The need for affordable dental and surgical options for pets has been a pressing issue, often leaving pet owners and veterinarians in tough spots. Emancipet's new facility is set to bridge this gap in a big way.

Impressive Impact Predicted The stats are just as impressive as the mission. The new clinic is expected to provide up to 4,000 low-cost dental treatments and 3,600 affordable soft tissue surgeries annually. This is a significant leap from what the current Norwood Park Clinic can handle, promising double the impact in a single year compared to the last five years combined!

Timely Relief for Overwhelmed Pet Owners Dr. Holly Putnam, Emancipet’s Chief Medical Officer, highlights the timely nature of this opening. "In 2023, we saw advanced dental appointments booked out for over six months, affecting many pets' quality of life," she explains. This new center is poised to meet this growing demand head-on.

More Than Just Healthcare: A Boost for Local Employment This isn't just about pets; it's also about people. The facility is creating 15 new jobs for veterinarians and vet techs, contributing to the local economy.

A Community Effort The opening of this center is a testament to the community's efforts, especially with the support from PetSmart Charities. Mills expresses her gratitude, "Thanks to this partnership, we can extend our reach and provide affordable care to more pet families in Austin and central Texas."

As Emancipet prepares to open the doors to its new Dental and Surgical Center, it stands as a shining example of how compassion and innovation can create a better world for pets and their families.
