Low-cost rabies vaccination clinic set for Mahoning Co.
Mahoning County Public Health is offering a rabies vaccination clinic Saturday, July 11, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Mauthe Park in Struthers. The cost is $8 per pet (cash only), and no appointment is necessary. Pet owners must have their all pets on a leash, in a cage, or carried inside a pillowcase.
Rabies vaccinations are required for all dogs, cats, and ferrets over three months of age in the county. This clinic does not include a physical examination of pets, and the veterinary staff reserves the right not to vaccinate any animal if the animal appears to be in poor health. Rabies is a preventable, potentially deadly, viral disease most often transmitted through bites and scratches from unvaccinated pets, strays, and wildlife.
To receive a rabies 3-year booster, bring proof of prior rabies vaccination after July 10, 2019. Without proof of prior vaccination, the pet will receive a one-year vaccination only.
The public must wear facial coverings while at the clinic and practice social distancing.
- Date: Saturday, July 11
- Place: Mauthe Park, 156 Smithfield Street, Struthers
- Time: 2 p.m.– 4 p.m.
Costs are kept to a minimum through a sponsorship from Mahoning County Public Health and volunteer services provided by Lisa Kurtz, D.V.M., East Park Veterinary Clinic, and the City of Struthers.
