Quiz of the day..... How old is this dog?

Echo Ridge is happy to announce we are offering FREE rabies vaccines until November!

September 28th is World Rabies Day.
While we usually like to spread awareness, this year we want to do even more in helping keep pet(s) protected against rabies.
Recently Spokane County had a bat test positive for rabies. This is concerning to our pets that may come into contact with potential rabid bats.
Did you know that the only way to test your pet for rabies is to remove the entire head and send it to the state lab for testing?!
The best option to prevent that is to ensure your pet is kept up to date on rabies vaccination.
It is also WA state law to have animals vaccinated: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=246-100-197
For the rest of September and ALL of October we are offering FREE rabies vaccines.
*Exam fees or assistant fees will be charged if applicable*
Please call us to get scheduled or with any questions.
Please share and lets all do our part to protect the animals of our community.

Dr. Soule brings in all sorts of awesome things and teaches us something new from her travels and time spent working in the arctic.
