The Veterinary Treatment Facility (VTF)...
 The Luke VTF is staffed by U.S. Army and civilian personnel and provides a limited range of services for animals. The clinic is located in Building 1107, just north of the North Gate stoplight on the east side of the road.
The veterinary clinic provides vaccinations, heartworm testing, feline leukemia testing, parasite control, health certificates for travel, and general sick call for companion animals (which is limited based on facility capabilities and time).
The Luke VTF does not have the necessary facilities or staff to provide hospitalization, intensive veterinary care, or emergency services.
Animals that are used or planned to be used for commercial breeding purposes are not allowed services at the VTF, IAW AR 40-905 (AFI 48-131).
The VTF does not perform surgical procedures at this time, but personnel can provide you with a list of low cost spay and neuter clinics in the area.
If you live on base, you are required by regulation to register your animal with Veterinary Services within ten working days of your arrival. The VTF will maintain all of your animal ’s records at the clinic. The VTF can provide all required vaccinations at a nominal charge, including rabies shots and yearly boosters for dogs, cats and ferrets. The clinic offers microchip implantation, which is a permanent identification system that is widely used throughout the world, and is required for all overseas travel.
The veterinary clinic is open Monday through Thursday from 0800-1130 and 1300-1600, and is closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday and all federal holidays. Because the VTF is staffed by a military veterinarian and technician who are responsible for Military Working Dogs (MWDs), food inspection, and military training, hours are subject to change depending on mission requirements.
Pets are seen on an appointment-available basis only. There may be occasions when you will be unable to get an appointment with the VTF. Is is ultimately your responsibility to keep your pets current on vaccinations, whether it is through the VTF or at an off-base clinic. Failure to do so may result in loss of pet privileges on base and/or loss of base housing privileges. To make an appointment, or for additional information, please come by the clinic or call (623) 856-6354. |
