The Chautauqua County Health Department (CCHD) is organizing a free rabies vaccination clinic in collaboration with the Town of Carroll. The event will take place on Saturday, July 19th, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Carroll Town Hall, located at 5 W. Main St., Frewsburg, NY.
Vaccinations are available for dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets aged three months and older. Pre-registration is required and can be completed online by visiting HealthyCHQ.com/Rabies. Spots are limited, so pet owners are encouraged to register promptly. If unable to attend after registering, participants should cancel their appointments via the confirmation email received upon registration.
Pet owners must bring previous rabies vaccination records for each animal to ensure effective vaccination. Dogs must be leashed, while cats and ferrets should be in individual carriers. Animal handlers will assist in transporting pets to the veterinarian for vaccination.
According to New York State Public Health Law, all dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets over four months old must be vaccinated against rabies. The disease is caused by a virus that affects warm-blooded animals and can lead to severe health consequences if transmitted to humans or other animals.
