RABIES CLINIC THIS SATURDAY

The Niagara County Department of Health in cooperation with the Niagara County Veterinary Society will hold a free rabies immunization clinic this Saturday, August 17 at the Town of Royalton Highway Garage from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. The address is 5316 Royalton Center Road.

By law, all cats, dogs and domesticated ferrets must have a current rabies vaccination from four months of age and on.

Cats and dogs receiving immunization WITHOUT PROOF of a previous rabies immunization will receive a certificate valid only for one year. Cats and dogs WITH PROOF of previous rabies immunizations will receive a certificate valid for three years.

Ferrets must receive vaccinations annually, regardless of previous immunization.

All Animals must be properly restrained. Cats & ferrets must be in a box or carrier. Dogs must be leashed.

The Department does not offer dog or cat vaccinations other than rabies. It is very important for the health and well being of your animal and the other animals attending our rabies clinics, that they have seen a veterinarian and are up to date on all of their immunizations, to include dog parvo virus.

Volunteers are welcomed. Please call 439-7511 if interested.

It is requested that anyone bringing more than six animals to one clinic contact the Niagara County Department of Health at 439-7511 up to one week prior to the clinic so paperwork can be processed more efficiently.
