Fallston Pet Vaccination Clinic Includes Microchipping, Nail Trims

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — A community pet vaccination clinic will be held Feb. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fallston Volunteer Fire & Ambulance Company, 2201 Carrs Mill Rd., Fallston. Vaccines, nail trims and microchips will be offered on a first come, first served basis and appointments are not required.

The event is being hosted by the Humane Society of Harford County in partnership with the Harford County Health Department.

“Pets are family members and they deserve to be healthy,” said Bob Citrullo, executive director at HSHC. “Our goal is to make core vaccines affordable for pet parents who are experiencing financial challenges and are unable to afford a regular relationship with a veterinarian.”

The clinic will offer distemper and Bordetella for dogs, distemper for cats and rabies vaccines for dogs, cat and ferrets. Vaccines are $10 each. Pets can also be microchipped at the clinic for $25. Heart to Heart Mobile Pet Care, LLC will be onsite, offering nail trims for $20 per animal.

Animals must be at least four months old to be vaccinated. To ensure the safety of everyone, dogs must be on a non-retractable leash with a properly fitted collar and cats and ferrets must be safely contained inside a carrier. A pet’s most recent previous rabies certificate with veterinarian’s signature or stamp must be presented to receive a 3-year rabies vaccination.
