Kane Co. Animal Control to offer microchip, rabies vaccine clinics

Now is a good time to take that extra step to protect that special member of your family by having it vaccinated for rabies.

Kane County Animal Control will be hosting microchip and rabies vaccine clinics for dogs and cats.

There will be two clinics this year: Wednesdays, July 29, and Aug. 26.

The clinics will be held at the Kane County Animal Control facility, 4060 W. Keslinger Road, in Geneva. The clinics will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

They will be offering one-year rabies vaccines and microchips. No appointment is necessary to take part in this clinic. It is required that all residents of Kane County purchase a registration tag at the time the rabies vaccine is administered. All animals must be controlled on a leash or carrier while at the clinic or waiting to be seen.

Cost for a one-year rabies vaccine and registration tag is $15 for neutered; $30 for non-neutered; and $5 for seniors. It is $15 for microchipping.

The Kane County Animal Control still recommends visiting a veterinarian annually for a complete physical and additional health related services. All forms of payment will be accepted.

If paying by credit or debit card there will be a 2.45 percent fee added to your purchase.

All owners must verify that their animal has not bitten anyone in the past 10 days. An adult, over 18 years of age, must be present and handle the animal. If your pet requires a muzzle it must be provided by the owner and put on prior to entering the clinic.
