Rochester Animal Services is hosting two free pet vaccine clinics this month at the Rochester Community Sports Complex. The first clinic on February 15 will offer rabies and FVRCP vaccines for cats, while the second clinic on February 20 will provide rabies, DAPP vaccines, and microchipping for dogs. Both clinics will be drive-up or walk-up with no appointment required.

Why it matters

The clinics also offer microchipping, which can help reunite lost pets with their owners.

The details

The cat vaccine clinic on February 15 will run from 10am to 2pm and require cats to be in secure carriers.

All pets must be leashed or in appropriate carriers, and aggressive animals may be denied service for safety reasons.
