The San Angelo City Council voted 7–0 to accept a donation of Simparica products worth $6,358.97 from Zoetis Pet Care to treat fleas and ticks at the city's animal shelter.
Angela Bloss told the council the donation was secured through the shelter's contracted veterinarian and will treat the current shelter population. Bloss said the shelter typically has about 140 dogs at any given time and provided an estimate to Council Member Coffey that treating that population monthly would cost a little over $40,000.
Council members asked whether donated medications are weight- and age-specific; Bloss said the product is for animals six months and older, and staff will weigh animals before dosing and ensure medication protocols are followed. The council expressed gratitude for the donation and urged staff to continue pursuing partnerships to offset costs.
The council approved accepting the donation and asked staff to develop protocols for soliciting, tracking and administering donated veterinary supplies.
