Low-Cost Vaccine ClinicHeading
Kyle, Buda, Plum Creek, Mountain City Area Low-Cost Vaccine ClinicNo need to stand outside in a parking lot to avoid an office call fee!
As a service to our community, Kyle Animal Hospital is proud to be the first established, area veterinarian to offer low-cost vaccine clinic hours NOW EVERY Saturday of each month, from 2 PM – 4 PM. This specific, limited-time community service is offered during designated clinic periods and is not representative of our regular pricing or how we conduct business day to day.
Important Information for Vaccine Clinics
It will be helpful to LOOK OVER these two forms prior to your visit, to help familiarize yourself with the vaccines because the vaccine clinics are not designed to allow for a consultation on vaccine selection. You may also research vaccines at many places on the internet. You do NOT need to fill these forms out or bring them with you.
Pre-Registration is now available and recommended but not required.
It will save you time at your visit.
Fill out and return the following forms to Receptionist@Kylevet.com.
NEW CLIENTS (if you are completely new to our hospital) should pre-fill this New Client Form and the annual check-in form.
Bring this with you on Saturday OR a better option is to get this to us beforehand so we can save you time by already having your and your pet’s information in the computer.
Preregistering in this manner WILL save you and your pets significant time at your visit! For multiple pets, you may print multiple forms or just get us the same information on all pets.
If you are not sure if you are already in our system, please fill out this form and then just ask us to double check BEFORE we enter you in again. If you are an existing client, but just need to add pets, use this same form–no need to fill out the entire top, just the bottom regarding the additional pets.

Vaccine Clinic FAQsHeading
Why is this low cost?
In reality, our vaccines themselves have actually always been low-cost. In fact, in most cases, the vaccines themselves are priced lower at Kyle Animal Hospital than at many of the temporary vaccine clinics offered in the area. The overall expense in a standard appointment is greater due to the time involved in our standard office call, which includes a thorough physical systems exam, consultation on vaccine selection, and consultation on other wellness care issues such as blood testing, dental health, parasites, and so on. A visit during the vaccine clinic hours will not involve these in-depth consultations, evaluations, and associated charges.
Why are you offering this instead of requiring a full exam and consultation?
However, we do understand that it is not an ideal world, and sometimes (especially given the current economic climate), something has to give.
We are proud to be here 6 days a week for standard office consultations but are also gratified that we are now in a position to offer a low-cost alternative to the out-of-town, fly-by-night vaccine clinics.
What is the difference between your vaccine clinic and the temporary clinics?
The temporary, parking lot type vaccine clinics at times aggressively push vaccines that we feel are often not in the best interest of most pets, in addition to often being more expensive. Some of the cheaper vaccine lines have been associated with certain types of cancer in pets and some of the vaccines will cause misleading results on future tests. For more information, a simple internet search on “feline leukemia vaccine cancer” or “FIV vaccine positive test” will return volumes of information.
Furthermore, some vaccine clinics attempt to unethically raise prices by advertising different rates for a “3-year vaccine” even though the vaccine is the exact same as the annual vaccine; it simply depends on whether the patient has had vaccines in the past. (Not applicable to feline non-adjuvanted vaccines–those are different vaccines). We assure you that the vaccines we use for our vaccine clinics are of the same high quality as those that we use during our standard office calls. Our choices of medication or vaccine for your pets are never, ever based on price alone. On this, we will not compromise.
We have private, off-street parking fenced from the major road. Our facility is indoors; your pet will not be handled in an insecure, outside area where they may panic and run off or someone else’s pets may be running loose. This helps greatly minimize and in some cases eliminates the dangers inherent in the parking lot vaccine clinics.
Once the parking lot clinic leaves, vaccine records are often very difficult to obtain if needed, especially in a timely manner.
In addition, we have been a stable, contributing part of the local economy, employing local residents, since 1996. The vaccine clinics come in, take money out of the community, and leave.
How will the vaccine clinic hours work?
We hope this service to the community will allow for more area pets to receive appropriate vaccines without clients being forced to use the services of an out-of-town, fly-by-night temporary clinic. As always, please feel free to email or call us for more information.
