The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is opening a new animal clinic in Clearwater on November 2, 2026. This facility offers essential veterinary services to all pet owners, regardless of their income or residency.
Why it matters
The clinic aims to lower barriers to veterinary care caused by high costs, helping residents keep their pets healthy and out of shelters. It builds upon resources gained from the organization's January merger with the Humane Society of Pinellas.
The new facility is located at 2907 State Road 590, Suite 5 in Clearwater. Appointments are required for all services, which currently include vaccinations, wellness exams, diagnostic lab work, and X-rays.
