Since its launch in August 2021 , Petco Love's Vaccinated and Loved campaign has offered free vaccines to the national nonprofit's animal welfare partners to host free clinics in their communities across the U.S. The vaccines protect pets against deadly, preventable diseases such as parvovirus and distemper in dogs, and panleukopenia in cats.
