North Beach PAWS to Conduct Final Low-Cost Dog and Cat Vaccination Clinic of 2024 in Ocean Shores

Final Vaccination Clinic of 2024 Set for September 21 at Buck Electric ACE Hardware with Core Vaccinations and Microchipping Just $20 Each

North Beach PAWS is conducting its fifth and final low-cost vaccination clinic of 2024 on Saturday, September 21, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Buck Electric ACE Hardware located at 641 Point Brown Avenue NW in Ocean Shores. Buck Electric ACE Hardware recently conducted a round-up at the register program that netted a $2,126 donation to North Beach PAWS.

Dr. Emily Becker of Raintree Veterinary Center, Dr. Brian Becker, Dr. James Lake from Ocean Shores Animal Hospital, and numerous volunteers will administer the clinic.

Vaccinations and microchips are $20 each. Core vaccines include rabies, DAPP, and Bordetella for dogs, and rabies and FVRCP for cats. Flea treatment for cats will also be available for $20. North Beach PAWS has held vaccination clinics this year in Rochester, Westport, Montesano, and Aberdeen where more than 360 animals received vaccinations and/or microchips.

Washington State law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies. Other diseases such as distemper are prevalent in wildlife and can infect unvaccinated pets. Thanks to vaccinations, numerous common diseases are entirely preventable. A microchip is the only permanent identification that can reunite you with your beloved lost pet. Unlike collars and ID tags that can break or get lost, a microchip will last for the life of your pet.

No appointments are needed or will be accepted, the event is first-come, first-served. Dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in carriers. 

Anyone needing more information should call 360.660.4660.
