Delaware County Public Health to Host Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic

WALTON – Delaware County Public Health will host a free rabies vaccination clinic for dogs, cats and ferrets on Monday, July 14, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 55 Townsend St., Walton.

Pre-registration for the clinic is suggested and can be completed online at http://health.ny.gov/go2clinic or by using the QR code provided by Delaware County Public Health.

New York State law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies. Puppies and kittens can receive their first rabies vaccine at 3 months of age. Pet owners should bring previous vaccination records to verify if their animal is eligible for three-year coverage.

All dogs must be on a leash and under proper control. Cats and ferrets should be in a carrying case. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets at the clinic site.

A veterinarian will be available only during the advertised clinic hours.
