Public Grand Opening of First U.S. Essentials PetCare Clinic at Walmart

PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Oct. 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Essentials PetCare, LLC officially opened its doors to the general public at a Grand Opening celebration this past Saturday, the Company reported today. The opening celebration attracted numerous pet owners as well as entire families from the local and surrounding communities.

"The turnout for our Grand Opening was inspiring," said Dr. Douglas Spiker, Co-Founder and President of Essentials PetCare. "It was great to see so many people from the area come out to support us."

Essentials PetCare is the first of its kind pet care clinic to be located within a Walmart store. Owners can bring their pets to the clinic for very affordable vaccinations and basic health care – seven days a week without an appointment. Prices for all services are clearly posted within the clinic and on the company's website. Vaccines and illness care packages are bundled to offer customers the greatest value, with all-inclusive pricing.

Within the first few weeks of being open, the clinic has seen numerous patients who have significantly benefited from having access to Essentials PetCare services. "One of the families who visited us brought in a puppy with a severe case of hookworms and intestinal parasites; several of its littermates had already perished. We diagnosed the puppy and educated the client on how to provide treatment and prevent re-infestation. Proper treatment is critical because hookworms and other intestinal parasites not only can be transmitted to other pets, but also to other family members," said Dr. Spiker.

"Our concern is that pets are suffering from preventable ailments and may be abandoned too often because their owners simply can't afford traditional veterinary care," said Company Co-Founder, Christine Battista, "Our goal is to provide an affordable option so all families have access to basic veterinary care."

Dr. Spiker and Ms. Battista were inspired to start Essentials PetCare after discovering an abandoned and very ill puppy in a Pasco County park. See more about "Annie's" story at http://www.essentialspetcare.com/meet-annie.html
