Humane Society Opens Low-Cost Clinic in Clearwater
The new Clearwater clinic offers low-cost pet care by appointment, regardless of income or county of residence.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Pet Health
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay opened an animal clinic at 2907 State Road 590, Suite 5, in Clearwater on Monday, Nov. 2. The one-story facility offers vaccinations, wellness exams, flea and heartworm prevention, microchipping, lab work, X-rays, nail trims and treatment for basic illnesses.
Why it matters
The group says the clinic aims to keep pets out of shelters by removing cost barriers to veterinary care. High veterinary costs can force some pet owners to give up their animals, and the clinic is open to anyone regardless of income.
The clinic is located at 2907 State Road 590, Suite 5, in Clearwater and requires appointments for all services. Spay and neuter services are planned but have not yet been added, and no start date was provided.

Pet Health Context
The clinic follows the January merger of the Tampa Bay and Pinellas humane societies, which pooled resources to extend low-cost veterinary services across Pinellas County. It marks an early step in consolidating pet care access in the Clearwater area.
Pet owners in Clearwater and across any county can now book appointments for vaccinations, flea and heartworm prevention, microchipping and basic illness care without income requirements. Spay and neuter services are not yet available at the new clinic.
The takeaway
Low-cost clinics can help keep pets with their families by making routine veterinary care affordable. Owners who need services should book an appointment in advance, since all care at the Clearwater clinic requires one.
