February Free Dog Vaccine Event
On February 17 from 10 am to 1 pm, we'll have our mobile vaccine van at East Las Vegas Community Center, where you can bring your dogs for FREE vaccines!
There's no better way to show your pet you love them than getting them vaccinated to prevent disease. We understand caring for your pet can be expensive, so on February 17, we're partnering with Councilwoman Olivia Diaz and PETCO LOVE to provide the pets of those who live in the zipcode 89101 with their critical vaccinations for free!
There is no sign-up required for your pets. Please leash all animals. We'll serve you on a first-come, first-served basis. All vaccinations will be provided while supplies last. This event will take place at East Las Vegas Community Center (250 N Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89101).
Don't live in this zip code? We'll have more free vaccine events in other zip codes soon! To stay updated with where our van will be next, you can sign up for our email list here.
Why Vaccinate Your Pet?
Vaccines help protect your pet from contagious diseases, many of which can cause serious illness or death. Vaccinations are important even if your pet is kept indoors as many contagious diseases are airborne and capable of living a long time in any environment. For example, parvovirus is extremely contagious and can be transmitted by any person, animal or object that comes in contact with an infected dog's feces. The virus can live in the environment for months, and may survive on inanimate objects such as food bowls, shoes, clothes, carpet, and floors.
Disease prevention is always less costly than treating a condition your pet has developed. For example, parvovirus treatments can cost $1,000 or more, while our DA2PPV dog vaccine that includes protection against parvovirus will be free!
While supplies last, we will provide your pet with the following vaccinations at no cost:
DAPP (5 in 1 vaccine)
DAPP [aka 5 in 1 (Distemper, Adenovirus (I, II), Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)]: All five vaccines are given in one shot. This is one of the first vaccines your puppy should receive and helps protect your pet against deadly viral infections affecting the central nervous system, lungs, liver and gastrointestinal system.
Some of these infections are highly contagious and deadly and can survive in the environment for months. It is extremely important to follow-up with boosters in order to provide the most protection for your pet. Once your puppy completes the series of puppy boosters, your pet will need a booster annually.
Rabies
The Rabies vaccine is required by law. All animals are required to have their first vaccine at 12 weeks of age, then again at 1 year of age and then every 3 years after that. You will receive a rabies tag and certificate providing proof of vaccination. The certificate is what is required as proof, not the tag.
