The owner of every dog and cat over 4 months of age is required by law to have the animal vaccinated against rabies. Any animal receiving its first rabies vaccine is expected to receive another dose one year later and every three years thereafter.
Proof of prior rabies vaccination is required to receive a 3-year vaccination. If proof is not provided, a 1-year vaccination will be administered.
