Rabies is an ongoing issue in our area.  In 2010, we had an
unprecedented number of animals who tested positive for Rabies
in the Greenwich area.  Some animals were tested after attacking
people/exposure to people.  They had to go through a rigorous
vaccination schedule after this exposure.  If your pet is not up to
date with the Rabies vaccine, it is VERY important that gets fixed
ASAP.  Your pet may have to be euthanized if they are exposed to
a rabid animal or if they injure someone, if they aren't vaccinated.

We have a daily special (Monday through Friday) where we offer
$10 Rabies vaccines at our clinic.  It is available for cats and
dogs, ages 12 weeks and older.  No appointment necessary, just
show up between the hours of 2-3 pm.  Please bring any records
of prior Rabies vaccines with you.

Also, in Washington County, there are monthly Rabies vaccine
clinics put on by the Washington County Department of Public
Health, running from March to November.

February is Dental Health Month!  
Here is some basic information about teeth and
disease in your pets.  Maybe you'll see some signs
in your cat or dog, and can schedule an
appointment for a dental examination and cleaning.
