In each community, the Chinook Project sets up a temporary veterinary clinic (often in one or two rooms in a local school). In the clinic, surgeries and check-ups are performed; vaccinations and dewormer are provided. The Project also makes house calls to provide vaccinations; and, often, the Project heads "out on the land" to provide services to dog teams maintained outside of the community.
