As puppy season approaches, exposure to contagious and deadly diseases, such as parvovirus and distemper, increases but is preventable with a simple vaccine, according to a release from the ARC.
“Vaccinations are incredibly important for the health of our entire pet community, and we are thankful to Petco Love for providing these vaccines,” said Carolyn Rice, Montgomery County Commission president. “We urge dog owners to take advantage of this free resource to help reduce the spread of disease and ensure the health and wellness of our community’s pets.”
The free vaccine clinics will be held by appointment only from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on March 2, March 10, March 17, March 24 and March 31.
The clinics are open to Montgomery County residents. All dogs must have a 2022 dog license, which can be purchased at the time of the vaccine clinic. A dog license is $40 for spayed or neutered dogs and $48 for unaltered dogs. The ARC also will offer microchips for $20 each.
