Rabies vaccine clinics in ontario

Rabies is a viral disease, that affects the brain and central nervous system, and can be spread to mammals (including people and animals- both wild and domestic) through contact with saliva or nerve tissues from an infected animal. The most common way the rabies virus is transmitted is through a bite or scratch from a rabid animal. Rabies can also be spread when infected saliva or nerve tissue comes in contact with an open wound or is introduced into a mucous membrane like the eyes, nose or mouth. In most cases, once symptoms appear, rabies virus is almost always fatal. Providing your pet with a rabies vaccination is the easiest way to keep your pets safe.

Spring Reduced Cost Rabies Vaccination Clinics – Saturday April 15, 2023

On Saturday, April 15, 2023, pet owners can get their dog or cat vaccinated against rabies at these participating veterinarian clinics:

  • Fenelon Animal Clinic (474 County Road 121, Fenelon Falls) from 9:00 a.m. to 12noon
  • Ganaraska Animal Clinic (146 Rose Glen Road South, Port Hope) from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The cost is $40 per animal (unless otherwise specified), cash only. No appointments are needed, and dogs must remain on leash and cats must be in a secure carrier. Owners should bring proof of their pet’s most recent rabies vaccination if applicable.

The Reduced-Cost Rabies Vaccination Clinics do not include an examination of pets. Owners will need to schedule another appointment with their vet to have their pet fully screened. Unfortunately, no clinics will be offered this spring in the County of Haliburton, as a participating veterinarian could not be found there.
