In a push to keep pets healthy and secure, Hillsborough County is rolling out a free vaccination and microchipping clinic for dogs and cats this Sunday. The clinic, part of a broader initiative to maintain public health and pet safety, is scheduled for October 5 at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds. Keep this on your radar, pet owners, because freebies like this don’t come often.
According to a Hillsborough County government announcement, the event is offering rabies vaccinations and microchips from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or while supplies last. The fairgrounds are located at 215 Sydney Washer Rd., Dover, FL 33527, where the services will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. And here’s the deal, it’s a drive-thru event. So, you and your four-legged friends can stay put in the comfort of your car throughout the process.
Pet owners should take note that there are some eligibility criteria to keep in mind. Pets must be at least 3 months old to receive the rabies vaccine, a requirement in Hillsborough County for all dogs and cats over 4 months of age. This opportunity not only helps align with local regulations but also provides peace of mind knowing your pet is protected against one of the more dangerous diseases they can encounter…
