The Wellness Clinic

Wel­come to the Well­ness Clinic

As an expan­sion of the Humane League of Lancaster’s pet-retention ser­vices, it is our goal to pro­vide high-quality health care for income-qualified pet own­ers. We hope to help pets stay with their fam­i­lies and enjoy a greater qual­ity of life. Through the Well­ness Clinic, the Humane League of Lan­caster hopes to ensure that fam­i­lies of all means have access to treat­ment options they can afford for their canine and feline companions.

Our  Well­ness Clinic will pro­vide basic vac­ci­na­tions and thor­ough phys­i­cal exam­i­na­tions for each pet at prices that are reflec­tive of lower income sta­tus. We also offer de-worming, micro-chipping, urine and fecal analy­sis, nail trim­ming, blood work, and ear and skin man­age­ment. A wide vari­ety of pre­scrip­tion food, flea and tick treat­ment, and heart­worm pre­ven­ta­tive will be avail­able at com­pet­i­tive prices. All dogs will receive a cur­rent license if applic­a­ble. This is a great way to bring your pet up to date on vac­ci­na­tions and receive a phys­i­cal exam which will screen for poten­tial under­ly­ing med­ical issues.

All cats must be safely secured in car­ri­ers and dogs must be on a leash. We are also offer­ing ser­vices for rab­bits and guinea pigs, too!

Hours of Oper­a­tion: The Well­ness Clinic will be open on Tues­days from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Care is for Income-Qualified Pet Own­ers:  If you cur­rently receive income/public assis­tance, please bring along proof of cur­rent address and income/public assis­tance ver­i­fi­ca­tion (SSD, SSI, or pay­check stub). If you are not receiv­ing income/public assis­tance you may still qual­ify! To find out who qual­i­fies, please view or print our eli­gi­bil­ity guide­lines. (pdf)

Clients: Clients will be seen on a first come first serve basis, so no appoint­ment is necessary.

Ser­vices: We will offer basic vac­ci­na­tions and well­ness exams at lower cost prices.

Meet the Well­ness Team

Dr. Vic­to­ria Boyd Kyle,  DVM, MS:

She recently joined the Humane League vet­eri­nar­ian staff as a full time employee. Dr. Boyd Kyle, is a Lan­caster County native, who has lived and prac­ticed vet­eri­nar­ian med­i­cine in other parts of the coun­try for 20 years. In addi­tion, she has a broad back­ground, which includes exotic/zoo ani­mals and of course domes­tic ani­mals (cats and dogs). When she agreed to come back to the Lan­caster area and work at the Humane League, we could not have been more pleased.

Dr. Boyd Kyle, attended Penn State Uni­ver­sity for her under­grad­u­ate degree. She then entered and grad­u­ated from the Vet­eri­nar­ian School at the Uni­ver­sity of Ten­nessee. An inter­est­ing fact about Dr. Boyd Kyle, that in addi­tion to her DVM, she earned her MS degree, because after vet­eri­nar­ian school she par­tic­i­pated in a res­i­dency in com­par­a­tive medicine.

She has recently par­tic­i­pated in edu­ca­tional pro­grams with the Humane Alliance for High Vol­ume Spay and Neuter. Humane Alliance is a nation­ally rec­og­nized non­profit orga­ni­za­tion that focuses on high-volume, high-quality, low-cost com­pan­ion ani­mal ster­il­iza­tion. The infor­ma­tion that she has learned through the Humane Alliance is invalu­able to the Humane League of Lan­caster, because Dr. Boyd Kyle par­tic­i­pates in our low-cost spay and neuter clin­ics, our Trap Neuter Return pro­gram for feral cats, and she will be involved in the cre­ation and run­ning of our Well­ness Clinic.

Did you know that in  addi­tion to help­ing pets remain in their homes, the Well­ness Clinic is also help­ing stray ani­mals find new for­ever families?

 

When you first meet “Squeekie” you will notice his bright yel­low eyes and his shiny, lux­u­ri­ous fur coat! This hand­some guy now enjoys naps in the sun, spend­ing time with his canine and feline sib­lings, and receiv­ing love and atten­tion from his human care givers!

Unfor­tu­nately, life was not always so happy for Squeekie. He was found as a stray by John and Gail Ster­back. They took Squeekie in, show­ered him with love and affec­tion, and began to care for him. John and Gail real­ized right away that he was a very spe­cial cat and they really wanted to pro­vide Squeekie with a for­ever home. He fit right in with their other cat and two dogs, just one of the gang! How­ever, John and Gail, who are retired, were con­cerned about the finan­cial respon­si­bil­ity of own­ing another pet, and because Squeekie was found as a stray he was going to need a lot of med­ical atten­tion, vac­cines, check ups, flea treat­ment and more!

Thank­fully, they were able to bring Squeekie to the Well­ness Clinic, he was seen by Dr. Boyd Kyle, and received the med­ical treat­ment that he needed. The best part, Squeekie is no longer a stray. John and Gail have decided to give Squeekie a for­ever family!
