Pet Vaccinations Offered at Clinic

A low-cost rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats will be offered next week in Moorpark.

Officials from the Department of Animal Regulation, in conjunction with the Ventura County Veterinary Medical Assn., will conduct the clinic next Wednesday beginning at 7 a.m. at the Moorpark fire station, 782 Moorpark Ave.

Any cat or dog older than four months can be vaccinated at the clinic for $4, cash only.

State and county laws require all dogs and cats more than four months old to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed.

Licenses good for one year may be purchased at the clinic for $30 for dogs or cats that have not been spayed or neutered, and $10 for those that have. Pet owners must provide written proof of neutering or spaying with the license application.

Failure to obtain a license within 30 days of a dog or cat reaching the age of four months, acquiring a new pet, establishing residence in Ventura County or of the expiration date of a previous license will result in a penalty equal to the license fee.

Moorpark residents who are unable to attend the Wednesday clinic may also purchase licenses at the ACS Veterinary Clinic at 173 E. High St., Town Veterinary Medical Center at 27 W. Los Angeles Ave. and the Moorpark Veterinary Hospital at 484 E. Los Angeles Ave., Suite 104.

Low-cost clinics are also scheduled to be offered Oct. 7 in Port Hueneme at the fire station at 304 2nd St. and Nov. 4 in Fillmore at the fire station in the 400 block of Main Street.
