UPCO to host pet vaccine clinic
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- UPCO will host a low-cost vaccine clinic for dogs and cats on Saturday, Sept. 20, with veterinarian Bob Peters, DVM, providing services.
The clinic will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. inside UPCO. Pet owners are asked to keep dogs on leashes and cats in carriers.
Vaccines available include rabies for $15, distemper combo 5-way for dogs at $15, kennel cough for $15, distemper combo 3-way for cats at $15 and distemper combo 5-way for cats at $20.
Organizers recommend bringing an extra person for owners planning to bring multiple or energetic pets. To reduce stress, one person can hold a spot in line while another waits in the car with the animals until it's time for vaccinations.
The St. Joseph Animal Shelter has transitioned to an online-only system for city licenses.
Paper copies will no longer be offered at clinics. Pet owners who receive a rabies vaccination at the event will be given a certificate that can be uploaded to the shelter’s website to purchase a city tag.
