Where and When

What You Need to Know
Before you grab the leash and carrier, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- All dogs must be on a leash. It’s important to maintain control of your furry friends, especially since there will be quite a few four-legged cuties milling about!
- For all cats and ferrets, they need to be in a carrier. This is for their safety and the safety of other pets as well. It can get a bit chaotic, and this way, you can ensure that your cats and ferrets are comfortable and secure.
Why Is This Important?
You might be wondering, why should I get my pet vaccinated? Well, rabies is a serious disease that affects the brain and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. It’s primarily spread through the saliva of infected animals. By vaccinating your pets, you’re not only protecting them but also helping to keep our whole community safe.
Lexington is known for its commitment to public health and safety, and this affordable vaccination event is just one of the many ways the city is working to promote responsible pet ownership. And let’s not forget about the peace of mind that comes with knowing your pet is up to date on their vaccinations!
Getting Vaccinated
When you arrive at the park, there will be trained professionals ready to assist you and vaccinate your pets. Make sure to have some form of identification with you, just in case they need to verify any information regarding your pet’s previous vaccinations.
It’s a straightforward process, and you’ll be in and out in no time. Plus, you get to enjoy a nice stroll around the park while you wait, so it’s a win-win situation!
Final Thoughts
This deals not only offer a chance to meet other pet owners in the area but also provide an opportunity to learn more about pet care and safety. Remember, being a responsible pet owner means keeping your furry family members up to date on their vaccinations.
So let’s all do our part for our furry friends and our community! Grab those leashes and carriers and head out to Castlewood Park this Tuesday. Your pets will thank you, and you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re taking care of their health.
