Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None.
Background:
The Police Department, in recent months, has received many emails regarding the health and
welfare of animals at the Shelter. We do not have scheduled veterinarian visits at the Shelter to
better help mitigate illness and injuries. The current practice involves taking sick and injured
animals to General Dog & Cat Hospital or an after-hours emergency veterinary clinic once the
illness or injury is identified. There is no preventative measure in place where animals are
evaluated by a licensed veterinarian at the Shelter to forecast future animal care needs. Having a
visiting veterinarian on-site would help mitigate illness prior to manifesting into something that
would affect the entire Shelter as well as re-examining those animals that have received
treatment to see if they are responding to medication given.
Veterinarian expenditures, not including vaccinations, for FY 2012/13 were $32,500.
Expenditures for FY 2013/14 have been thus far been recorded at $7,139. At this rate, veterinary
treatment could reach upward of$85,000 if action is not taken.
Dr. Zeilinski of General Dog & Cat Hospital, our current veterinary vendor selected through a
request for quote process based on cost and location, was consulted regarding an animal care

program where a licensed veterinarian would visit the Shelter bi-weekly and evaluate the animals
in the our care. Dr. Zeilinski stated that this would be feasible and that he would have an
associated licensed veterinarian handle the Shelter visits. The cost per visit would be
$150.00/hour and it is estimated that the visit could last upward of two hours. If the care
program were to incorporate a bi-weekly visit, then the weekly cost is estimated at $600 or
$31,200 per year.
Financial Impact:
The FY 2013/14 budget for veterinary services is $17,500 with General Dog & Cat Hospital
("GD")and $12,000 for emergency after-hours treatment with Animal Emergency Clinic in
Grand Terrace("GT"), a separate vendor. Using funds from the Animal Control Shelter Services
' account there is expected to be a positive impact on reducing projected veterinary expenditures
should the Shelter remain status quo.
