Argentine Cities Roll Out Free Veterinary Services and Pet Health Campaigns
Municipal authorities in several Argentine towns launched coordinated animal‑welfare initiatives.
In Río Grande, the municipal veterinary department conducted a door‑to‑door operation across the El Mirador, Argentino and Batalla de Georgias neighborhoods, installing identification chips, scheduling neutering appointments and promoting the new online "Portal Mascotero" for pet adoption.
Godoy Cruz opened a fourth "Plaza Canina" in Mitre Park, offering free rabies vaccinations, deworming, antiparasitic treatments and sterilisation consultations, as part of the "Amor Animal" program that has already serviced thousands of pets.
In Corrientes, emergency responders attended to a severely ill dog identified with leishmaniasis, providing on‑site veterinary care, wound treatment and arranging follow‑up care after the animal was surrendered by its owner.
Lanús announced new slots for its Mobile Surgical Unit at General San Martín Park, providing free spay/neuter surgeries for cats and dogs meeting specific weight and age criteria, alongside rabies vaccinations and other preventive services.
