Protect your pets, neighbors! Just a couple of weeks back there was a raccoon in my back yard--it can happen here. 

This is a bargain price for rabies vaccination--just $10.

Event Saturday, April 27, 2019 - 10:00am - 12:00pm

Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, the Health & Human Services Department, and Somerville Animal Control are pleased to host the 19th Annual Rabies Clinic in the yard at the DPW Highway Garage on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10 a.m. to noon. The City's annual rabies clinic gives residents an easy and affordable opportunity to have their dogs and cats vaccinated against the rabies virus. On-site dog licenses are also available. All Somerville residents are required to license their dogs, and a current rabies vaccine is required to obtain a license. 

When you arrive, enter the gate to the right of the main building and follow signs for the Rabies Clinic. The cost of the vaccine is $10 for both dogs and cats. The cost of a dog license is $20 for spayed and neutered dogs with proof and $30 for all other dogs. Please note that cats must be in carriers and dogs must be leashed. Prior vaccination record is required to obtain a three (3) year license, otherwise all vaccinations will be valid for one (1) year.

For more information please contact the Health & Human Services Department at 617-625-6600 ext 4300.

This is a great low-cost way to get your pet protected from some crazy raccoon that might come out of the Mystic. Ya nevah know.

I've gone several times to this event, but I don't have to go this year because I got the 3-year vax for the cat. If you have records from your previous shot, bring it--and if it's less than a year you can get the 3-year. But you have to have the evidence.

Pro-tip: I keep my vax record with my pet carrier. If you had to evacuate to a shelter quickly, sometimes they require evidence of vaccination. I have the metal tag attached to my carrier and the paper records in the pocket of her carrier.
