WHY: Once a rabies infection is established, there's no effective treatment. Rabies vaccinations are required by law in Orleans Parish with a tag evidencing the collar or harness of the cat or dog. Essentially, it is important to keep your pets protected.
HOW much?: $15 Cash only. For only $15, Orleans Parish residents will receive a rabies vaccination, tag, and license good for 1 year only. Out-of-parish residents are welcome but will only receive the rabies vaccine and will need to get the tag and license from their parish’s shelter.
*Please note that all dogs MUST be on a leash and all cats MUST be in a carrier or on a leash and this event is CASH ONLY. Hosting this event are the Louisiana SPCA, Southeast Louisiana Veterinary Association - SLVA, and the City of New Orleans Fire Department. We hope to see you there!
