UPPER DARBY TOWNSHIP 2024 PET EXPO

Saturday, April 27, 2024

*Rain Date:  May 4, 2024


By Pennsylvania law, all dogs and non-feral cats older than three months of age are required to be vaccinated against rabies. 

Upper Darby Township will be providing a limited number of rabies vaccinations to township dog & cat owners FREE of charge at our 2024 Pet Expo!

We are excited to welcome Dr. Kimberly Bowers and some of her team from All Pets Veterinary Hospital of Drexel Hill to this year's Pet Expo!!

In addition to the rabies vaccines, Dr. Bowers will also be offering the following:

  • Distemper Vaccine (cats & dogs preferably over 3-yrs old ) - $25.00
  • Bordetella (kennel cough) Vaccine (dogs only) - $30.00
  • Microchipping (cats & dogs; includes lifetime registration, required for lifetime Delware County Dog Licenses) - $50.00
  • Rabies Vaccine if not an Upper Darby resident - $20.00*

Pet owners are encouraged to bring their most recent proof of vaccinations so that 3-year Rabies and Distemper vaccinations can be offered (price remains the same as 1-year vaccines).

CAT OWNERS
: Cats will need to be in a secured carrier.
ALL PET OWNERS: Carriers, Collars and Leashes need to be secure and escape proof.

All shots will be administered in a closed space to avoid any possible escape.

PET OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES
  • All dogs and cats 12 weeks of age and older must have a current Rabies vaccine.
  • Rabies vaccines are only recognized as valid if administered by a licensed veterinarian.
  • The Rabies Certificate is considered proof of vaccination (not a receipt, collar tag, or general vaccine certificate)
  • Pets must be revaccinated every 1 to 3 years (determined by the vaccine manufacturer's schedule).
Note: Dogs receiving a 1-year Rabies vaccine must have their booster on or before the next due date to receive a 3-year vaccine.
If even one day late, by law another 1-year vaccination must be given.



VIOLATIONS
  • Pet owners that are unable to provide valid proof of vaccination within 48 hours of request by local or state police or animal control officers are subject to a $300 fine per unvaccinated pet (there are regular door-to-door neighborhood checks for compliance).




Preventing the spread of Rabies virus is a matter of public safety.  Even indoor-only cats can be at risk, most commonly from bats entering the home - they're an irresistible prey for any feline!

We're happy to help keep your pet (and you!) protected.
