Hornby Veterinary Centre Launches Free Parvo Vaccine Drive to Support Local Dog Owners in Need
Christchurch, 6 December 2025 – Hornby Veterinary Centre is proud to announce its Parvo Vaccine Drive, offering free parvovirus vaccinations for dogs whose owners are experiencing financial hardship. The event will take place on Saturday, 6 December, from 12pm to 2pm in the Hornby Veterinary Centre carpark.
With 75 vaccines available, this initiative aims to protect vulnerable dogs in the community and raise awareness about the importance of parvovirus prevention. Parvo is a highly contagious and often deadly disease, and vaccination is the best way to keep pets and the wider community safe.
“We know times are tough for many families, but protecting your dog’s health shouldn’t be out of reach,” says Rhiannon Taylor, Practice Manager at Hornby Veterinary Centre. “We wanted to find a way to make a real difference for local pet owners and help prevent the heartbreak that parvo can cause.”
To be eligible for a free vaccination, owners must provide either:
Proof of a Community Services Card, or a confirmation letter from the SPCA confirming they are in need of assistance.
Important Health Notice
🚫 Do not attend if your dog is unwell.
If your dog has been unwell in the past 48 hours—showing symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite, or bloody diarrhea—please stay home and contact the clinic. The team will do their best to arrange vaccination support at another time.
