Spring rabies clinic schedules set
By T&D Staff Friday, March 07, 2008Local veterinarians and clinics are offering rabies vaccinations against the acute, infectious and often fatal viral disease that is spread by the bite of infected animals. Vaccinations range from $3 to $5 at most sites.
Dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a box or carrier. The owner is directly responsible for the safety and control of their pet.
State law requires all dogs and cats that are 4 months of age and older have a current vaccination in accordance with the South Carolina Rabies Control Act.
It's the law. It's not an option. The owner of a non-vaccinated domestic pet may be found guilty of a misdemeanor.
Dates, times and locations of special rabies vaccination clinics can be obtained from the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control's county health departments and local participating veterinarians. For more information, go to www.scdhec.gov/rabies.
