Rabies Vaccination Clinic Coming to Simsbury on Saturday, May 2

You can get your dogs and cats vaccinated at the Weatogue Fire Station, 251 Hopmeadow St., from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 2,.

If you can bring your pet’s past rabies vaccination certificate to the clinic, you can get a new certificate good for three years, otherwise, the certificate will be good for a year. The cost is the same: $20 (only cash accepted, not credit cards, not even debit cards).

The Simsbury Police Department and the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association are sponsoring the event. Dr. Arnold Goldman, a member of the CVMA and owner of Canton Animal Hospital, is donating his time for this event.

You can get your dogs licensed at the Town Clerk’s Office, and June is the least expensive time to do so. For neutered or spayed dogs, the annual fee is only $8. The fee is $19 for unspayed or unneutered dogs, and it goes up each month after June (to $30 by May). You’ll need a rabies certificate in order to license your dog. Here’s a copy of the dog license application.
