Low Cost Rabies Vaccinations

According to the the Colorado Division of Wildlife, skunks are on the rise in Denver (see this recent Denver Post story). Skunks do carry rabies, as do bats and prairie dogs. In fact, rabies cases are on the rise in Colorado – 30 so far this year. You can protect your pet with low-cost vaccinations offered by Denver Animal Care & Control at the city animal shelter, 678 S. Jason St. Rabies shots are offered Wednesdays, 2:30-4:45PM (dogs) and Thursdays, 3:30-4:30PM (cats). The shelter also offers pet vaccination, license, and microchip clinics. Cost is $35.
