Rabies Vaccination Clinic

 

On Saturday, January 26, 2008, Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (HCPHES) Veterinary Public Health Division, will be sponsoring a low cost rabies vaccination clinic at the HCPHES Veterinary Public Health Animal Shelter, 612 Canino Rd., Houston, 77076

 

Clinic hours are from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM and vaccinations will cost $5.00.  County pet licenses will also be available.

 

All dogs and cats four months of age and older are required to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed with the county.  Vaccination and license tags are a pet’s ticket home should they ever become lost.

 

HCPHES Veterinary Public Health requests all dogs be leashed and ALL cats be contained on leashes or in carriers.  If neither is available to the cat owner, a pillowcase or onion sack works well for short-term confinement. 

 

For your safety, your pet’s health and your community, bring your pets to the vaccination clinic to get their rabies shots.  For more information call HCPHES Veterinary Public Health at 281/999-3191 or log on to www.countypets.com.
