Kane County Animal Control will be host to its second Rabies and Microchip Animal Clinic of the year on from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday May 12 at Kane County Animal Control, 4060 Keslinger Road in Geneva.
The clinic will be conducted drive-thru style. Dog and cat owners just pull up in their vehicle and let the staff members and volunteers do the work. There is no need to get out of cars, but, individuals are asked to please wear a mask so everyone remains safe and protected.
The cost of a one-year rabies vaccine (with tag) is $20 for neutered pets, $35 for non-neutered and $10 for seniors with pets. Microchips are available for $15. Cash, check, VISA and MasterCard are accepted.
The clinic will run with two teams, each consisting of a doctor and staff, plus clerks to process paperwork and finances. The staff members will leash the pet and transport them to the exam station. While the medical crew performs the exam and vaccinations, a clerk completes the rabies certificate and another handles payment. Once the procedure is completed, the vet will communicate with the owner in their car. After each vehicle pulls away, the staff cleans the station for the next client.
The animal control staff members will maintain proper infection control by wearing masks, gloves and scrub tops. Their goal is to help treat the animals in need and still provide a much-needed resource during these complicated times.
An additional clinic is planned for Saturday June 12, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m..
Dates are to be determined for August, September, and October.
