You know your pet needs vaccinations, but finding the time and money for a traditional vet visit can feel overwhelming. Maybe your schedule is packed, your dog gets anxious in busy waiting rooms, or your cat turns into a master escape artist the moment the carrier comes out.
Preventive care is one of the most important gifts you can give your pet, yet it is often the first thing delayed when life gets busy or budgets get tight. That is exactly why CityVAX was created: to make essential preventive care simple, affordable, and close to home.
CityVAX offers walk-in pop-up vaccination clinics across the greater Houston area, hosted at familiar neighborhood spots like PetSuites, Dogtopia, Pet Supermarket, Advance Auto Parts, YMCA locations, and more. No appointment, no complicated scheduling, just straightforward preventive care for dogs and cats at a price that makes sense.
Vaccinations are the foundation of preventive veterinary care. They help protect your pet from serious, often life-threatening diseases that are common in Texas and throughout the Gulf Coast region. CityVAX focuses on making these core protections easy to access wherever you live in the Houston area.
CityVAX provides low-cost core vaccines that most dogs need to stay protected and compliant with local regulations. Core dog vaccinations typically include:
Rabies: Required by law in Texas, rabies vaccination protects both your dog and your family from a fatal viral disease that can spread to humans.
Distemper, Parvovirus, and Adenovirus (often combined as a DHPP or DAPP vaccine): These viruses can cause severe illness, dehydration, organ damage, and even death, especially in puppies and unvaccinated adult dogs. Vaccination sharply reduces the risk of infection and greatly limits the spread of these diseases in the community.
Depending on age, previous vaccine history, and lifestyle, the CityVAX team can recommend an appropriate vaccination plan for your dog within the preventive services they offer. Puppies usually need a series of vaccines spaced a few weeks apart, while adult dogs often require boosters at regular intervals to maintain protection.
Cats need vaccines just as much as dogs, even if they live indoors. CityVAX offers core feline vaccines that help protect against:
Rabies: As with dogs, Texas law requires rabies vaccination for cats. Bats and other wildlife can occasionally get into homes or garages, which means indoor cats are not completely risk-free.
Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (often combined as FVRCP): This combination vaccine protects against highly contagious respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases that can spread quickly among cats. Kittens and unvaccinated adult cats are especially vulnerable.
CityVAX can help you keep your cat on a consistent vaccination schedule so that protection does not lapse, even if you do not visit a full-service clinic regularly for other services.
Missing or delaying vaccinations increases your pet's risk of infection, especially in a warm, humid climate where viruses and parasites are common. Dog parks, apartment dog runs, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and even sidewalks can be sources of exposure. For cats, a single encounter with an infected outdoor cat or a brief escape can be enough to spread disease.
Regular vaccination helps:
• Prevent serious illnesses that are expensive and difficult to treat
• Reduce disease spread in your neighborhood and local pet community
• Keep your pet compliant with local laws and many housing or boarding requirements
Early prevention is safer and far less expensive than treatment after a problem appears. CityVAX focuses on delivering that protection in a way that fits real life.
At each pop-up clinic, CityVAX provides focused preventive care for dogs and cats. During your visit, the team will:
• Review any vaccine records you bring
• Discuss which vaccinations are due or recommended based on age and history
• Administer the appropriate vaccines
• Answer basic preventive-care questions within their scope
For services beyond vaccinations, parasite prevention, heartworm testing, and microchipping, CityVAX will refer you to a full-service veterinary clinic so your pet can receive complete medical evaluation and treatment if needed.

CityVAX clinics are designed for one purpose: to deliver essential preventive care without the barriers many pet owners face at traditional clinics.
No appointment needed: All CityVAX locations are walk-in only. You simply choose the time window that works best for you, arrive with your pet, and check in. This flexibility is especially helpful for families juggling work, school, and busy weekend schedules.
Affordable preventive care: By focusing on vaccinations and a few other key services, CityVAX keeps overhead lower and passes those savings on to you. That means more Houston-area pets can stay protected, even when budgets are tight.
Hosted at familiar neighborhood venues: Pop-up clinics take place at places you already visit, such as pet stores, dog daycares, auto parts stores, and community centers. Many pets feel more relaxed in these environments, and parking and access are typically simple.
Fast, efficient visits: The CityVAX model centers on preventive care only. Because the team is not performing surgeries, emergency care, or complex diagnostics on-site, visits are typically quicker and more streamlined than a full-service clinic appointment.
If your pet needs more in-depth medical evaluation, treatment, or emergency care, the CityVAX team will guide you to a full-service veterinary clinic that can help.
