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.
