Mobile pet clinic coming to Miami Sept. 15

Posted

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 Gila County dog license is required by law. A license is also essential to prove ownership if your stray dog ends up at the shelter. Are your pets microchipped? If they aren’t, consider this: 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 and even nail trimming are all available  when PetVet mobile clinics visit the Tractor Supply store one Sunday afternoon each month: Sept. 15, Oct. 13 and Nov. 10, from 2:30 – 4 p.m.

Did you know there's a snakebite vaccine that can help dogs survive being bitten by a rattler? Pre-treatment with the snakebite vaccine also reduces a pet’s pain and suffering - and dramatically reduces the overall cost of treatment if bitten, too.

No appointments are needed but call PetVet Mobile Clinic staff at 800-427-7973 if you have questions about vaccines or specific services when their mobile clinic sets up outside the Tractor Supply store in the Cobre Valley Plaza at 2260 W. Highway 60 in Miami. Read more at petvet.vippetcare.com/services-pricing.
