Animal Vaccine Clinic Scheduled in La Verne

The Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA is scheduled to host a vaccine clinic from 7 – 8 p.m. Thursday, July 11 at the La Verne at City Hall.

“We expect these clinics to be well attended. Please be prepared to stand in a long line,” city officials warned through a news release. “For your safety and the safety of (your) pet, make sure your dogs are on a secure leash and cats are in a carrier.”

You will be turned away if your animals are not properly secured, organizers said.

Anyone with special needs or anyone with a pet that has special needs is asked to make an appointment with their private veterinarian.

Veterinarians are scheduled to provide rabies shots and other vaccines to both cats and dogs.

Dog licenses for Chino, Chino Hills, Claremont, Diamond Bar, La Verne, Montclair, Ontario, Pomona, San Dimas and the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County including San Antonio Heights and Mt. Baldy will be available for purchase as well, according to a news release.

Animal care officials remind residents that dogs 4-months and older are required by state, county and city ordinances to be vaccinated against rabies.

The rabies vaccine provides three years of protection for dogs 12 months and older, one year protection for dogs 4 to 11 months and for cats from 4 months old, officials wrote in the news release. The DHLPP and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines for dogs and FVRCPP vaccines for cats will also be available. These may be given to pets eight weeks and older and provide protection for one year, officials wrote.

Protection of pets against diseases other than rabies is not required by law, but is recommended for the well being of the animal, according to officials.

The cost for the vaccines are:

• Rabies, $6 Dogs 4 months and older, $10 cats 4 months and older
