How often does CHVC offer vaccination clinics, and how do I find a vaccination clinic near me? CHVC offers affordable vaccination clinics conveniently on Saturdays and weekday evenings. To find your neighborhood clinic's schedule, select Clinics on the top of this page. What type of payment methods do you accept? We accept cash, check (with driver's license), and credit/debit cards (Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover). Does CHVC offer microchipping for dogs and cats and what does it cost? Yes, we do. We charge $40 for the microchip and lifetime registration. For more information, please visit http://www.avidid.com/. I have 2 dogs, 2 years old and 8 years old. One had her annual shots in May & the other in July. Can we get them both done in May so that they are on the same schedule? Will it be okay for the one to have shots 2 months early? Yes, that will be not problem to put them on the same schedule. There is no harm in administering the annual vaccines early. Is de-worming offered at the mobile clinics? Yes. We offer injectable and oral dewormer medication for both dogs and cats. Does CHVC Provide Health Certificates? Yes, we do. Health Certificates require a USDA accredited veterinarian to examine your pet within 10 days of your travel and certify that your pet is free of all contagious diseases. Current vaccination history is required for this certificate. What products are available for purchase at the clinics? Flea/Tick preventative, heartworm preventative, dental care, and skin care products are available for purchase at all of our clinic locations. Why does my puppy/kitten need a series of vaccinations? Maternal antibodies gradually decrease during the first few months of your pet's life. If maternal antibodies interfere with early vaccinations, later doses will stimulate your pet to produce its own antibodies to combat the disease. How will I know when to bring my pet back in for his next vaccinations? As a courtesy, we send out reminder postcards when your pet's vaccinations are due. What happens if I have missed my puppy/kitten's booster shots? Since it takes time for the immunity to build up within your pet's system, waiting too long between boosters can lead to the previous shots becoming ineffective. You will need to start the series over. How often does my pet need a rabies vaccine? The first time a dog/cat gets a rabies vaccine (regardless of age) it is good for one year. Every rabies vaccination thereafter can be a 3 year vaccine. What happens if I lose my copy of the records? Do you keep copies? Yes, since the paperwork you fill out at the clinics is considered a legal medical record, we keep a carbon copy of your paperwork, as well a computerized record of all vaccines and information given. If you ever need a copy of your records, you can contact us and we will be happy to send you a copy. Do you give the Rabies certificate and the dog license tag at your clinic? We will be able to provide you with your rabies certificate/official proof of vaccination, but the dog license can only be issued by the city/county in which you live. |
