Community Action Days

RSPCA WA Community Action Days are free events designed to help people who are struggling financially to look after their pets.

These events are held at metropolitan parks and reserves, as well as regional locations like Kalgoorlie, Bunbury, Geraldton and as far north as Broome.

Please check our Events page for details of the next Community Action Day events. Also, make sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram for details.

Visitors to a Community Action Day event receive:

Free health checks for their dogs and puppies
Free dog microchipping (*not available for litters or breeders)
Free flea and worming treatments for dogs and cats (pick-up only for cats)
Free chain exchange - swap your choker collar for a humane flat collar, thanks to Rogz
Free pet food for families in financial need
Free nail-clipping for dogs
Educational information about pet care and responsible pet ownership
Dog training advice
Free sausage sizzle (not available at all locations)

(The above services are provided subject to availability and while stocks last)

Please note: All dogs must remain on leads at all times. Please notify staff upon arrival if your dog is reactive. Unvaccinated or newly vaccinated puppies need to be carried. For safety, cats are not allowed, though their owners are welcome to attend.
