What to Bring
Important Reminders Before Coming to a Vaccine Clinic
- Pets must be on a leash or in a secure carrier. If you do not have one, please leave your pet in your vehicle and let us know—we’ll be happy to loan you one to safely bring them to the clinic. You may also arrange to pick one up in advance by calling 401-846-0592 ext. 118.
- Please bring any available medical history for your pet, including a previous rabies vaccination certificate, if applicable. General veterinary records are not accepted as proof of rabies vaccination. Vaccines administered at the clinic are valid for one year, unless a current rabies certificate is provided, in which case rabies vaccination may be valid for three years. A vaccination is considered current if it is no more than 30 days past the due date.
- For everyone’s safety, we cannot handle animals that may be aggressive toward people. If your pet may be fearful or reactive in unfamiliar settings, please contact us in advance.
- Community (feral) cats cannot be accommodated at these clinics.
- Due to limited space at our pop-up clinic locations, please limit attendance to those necessary for your pet’s visit.
- Payment accepted: Cash or credit cards only. No checks, please. We are unable to accept bills larger than $50.
