Laredo, TX – -The City of Laredo Health Department will host a rabies vaccination clinic Wednesday, July 21, 2010. We want to inform the public that our animal control officers have recently seen a surge of unvaccinated pets, and therefore urge everyone to have their pets vaccinated. Unvaccinated pets put the public at risk for rabies. Also, we want to remind pet owners that it is their responsibility to safeguard the health and welfare of their pets not only against rabies and other illnesses but also against fleas and ticks.
In Laredo we must vaccinate each year to protect our pets and families against rabies. Rabies can spread quickly and easily among dogs and cats; our concern is the potential human exposure, which can be deadly.
We urge the public to vaccinate their pets either through their private veterinarian or through the Health Department at our 2 monthly vaccination clinics. In addition to vaccinating, the best protection and responsible caring for your pet is to assure that they are protected against other diseases such as parvo virus and distemper; as well as, to spay and neuter their pets.
