State law requires all pet owners to vaccinate their dogs, cats, and ferrets. You can also vaccinate livestock such as horses, cows, and sheep.
Keeping your pets and livestock up to date on their rabies vaccinations is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can protect yourself, your family, and your pets from this fatal disease. Information on year-round low-cost ($10 or less) rabies clinics and mobile rabies clinics can be found at the links below or contact your local veterinarian to make an appointment to get your pet vaccinated.
