Gila County issued the following announcement on Dec. 20.
Snakebite or Rabies Vaccine?
Gila County Animal Care & Control reminds dog owners that an up-to-date rabies vaccine is required for your dog to be licensed - and that annual license is required by law. A license is essential to prove ownership if your stray dog ends up at the shelter. Are your pets microchipped? If they aren’t, be aware that only 22-percent of lost dogs without a microchip get reunited with the anxious owners who love them, and that number drops to just two percent for stray cats. Low-cost vaccines, preventative care, microchipping as low as $15 and even nail trimming are all available from mobile clinics that visit Globe on your choice of three different dates this month:
SUNDAY Dec. 26 in the parking lot at Tractor Supply
Keep your dogs and cats protected and up-to-date on vaccines essential to guard against rabies, feline leukemia, bordatella, and distemper. Did you know there's even a snakebite vaccine that can help dogs survive being bitten by a rattler? Pre-treatment with the snakebite vaccine also reduces your pet’s pain and suffering - and the overall cost of treatment if bitten, too. On each of two Sundays (Dec. 26 ) the PetVet Mobile Clinic revisits the Tractor Supply store in Claypool from 2:30-4:00. No appointments are needed, but call PetVet Mobile Clinic staff 800-427-7973 if you have questions about specific services -- or visit petvet.vippetcare.com/services-pricing.
