Rabies and Mucrodhip Clinic in Milford
The NH Foundation For Companion Animal Care (www.nhfcac.org) announces this opportunity to get a Rabies shot for your dog or cat, no appointment needed. Shots are $20.00 each and will be administered by a local veterinarian. Dog licenses must be obtained by May 1, each year and a current Rabies vaccination is required for the license. An initial shot is good for one year, followed by a booster that is good for three years. Please bring a record of your pet's last rabies shot in order to get the three year shot.
Microchips, about the size of a grain of rice, can also be injected by the veterinarian. These help veterinarians, animal shelters and similar agencies locate owners when a stray animal is found. This can be particularly important for cats who get out unexpectedly and don't have a collar or other identification.
The microchip costs $25.00 and there is approximately a $20.00 fee to register with an online registry service.
Dogs should be on a leash. Cats should be in a carrier, but a pillow case will work just fine.
The clinic is open to all; you do not have to be a Milford resident.
Please pay with check or cash. We cannot accept debit or credit cards. Call Chris at (603) 759-6574 if you have questions.
