Keeping Pets Protected: Reduced-Cost Rabies Clinics Return This Fall
/By Scott Arnold
Local pet owners will have several chances this fall to get their dogs, cats and ferrets vaccinated against rabies for a reduced cost.
A series of reduced-cost rabies vaccination clinics is being offered across the region this fall, giving residents several chances to have their dogs, cats and ferrets vaccinated at a reduced rate.
Lakelands Public Health is partnering with veterinary clinics and animal welfare organizations to offer reduced-cost rabies vaccination clinics at locations across the region.
The rabies vaccine will cost $40, and some participating clinics will also offer microchipping at a reduced rate ranging from $40 to $60.
Keeping pets vaccinated against rabies is an important part of protecting both animals and the people around them. In Ontario, dogs, cats and ferrets are required to be vaccinated against rabies starting at three months of age and kept up to date throughout their lives.
