With raccoon strain rabies in the community after a ten year absence, including two cats infected with it, rabies vaccination for Ontario pets is more important than ever.
Starting this weekend, low cost rabies and microchip clinics will be taking place in the province for those concerned about the cost of the injection.
Dr. Jeff Rabinovich of Bridletowne Warden Animal Hospital is once again offering the clinics - 23 this year - in partnership with Urban Animal Corporation, and hosted by Pet Valu and PetSmart stores.
The cost is just $25 per rabies vaccine, $25 per microchip, or $50 for both including HST (cash only).
Every participant will receive a lifetime subscription on HomeSafeTM, a global cloud-based registration and recovery service, courtesy of Urban Animal Corporation and Rabinovich.
HomeSafeTM provides the only on-line automated recovery system that allows all members of the community to post their own lost and found reports.
It facilitates instant sharing of pet information among the general public and organizations in the community, and across North America when a pet goes missing.
With an increase in clinics in 2017, organizers are confident more animals than ever before will be protected from disease and better insured of a return home if they get lost.
This weekend first-come, first-serve clinics will be held in Brockville, Waterloo and Kitchener.
