What You Need to Know
Clinics are first come, first served (no appointment required) and
begin promptly at the scheduled time.
Vaccinations are available for cats and dogs only.
Animals as young as 6 weeks of age may receive a distemper vaccine.
Animals must be 12 weeks of age or older to receive a rabies vaccine.
If an animal has had a previous rabies vaccination, the most recent
rabies certificate with a veterinarian’s signature MUST be brought the
clinic in order to receive a 3-year rabies vaccine. NO exceptions,
and NO certificates will be issued after the clinic.
No physical exams are performed at Wellness Clinics due to the
high-volume of animals attending each clinic.
Cats must be in hard plastic or cardboard carriers, dogs must be
wearing a collar and leash (retractable leashes not
permitted).
If your dog requires a muzzle to be vaccinated, owners should bring
animal’s own properly fitting muzzle to clinic (owners must be able to
put muzzle on animal).
Accepted forms of payment: Cash or Check ONLY. Checks
should be made payable to DHA or Delaware Humane Association.
Please bring driver’s license or ID with current name and address, as
this will expedite the completion of paperwork.

Rabies Prevention Tips
Rabies among household pets may be avoided by taking the following
precautions:
- Keep your pets away from stray animals and wildlife by confining
them
to your own lawn and by walking them on a leash at all times when
leaving your property.
- Keep trash in tightly closed trash cans so as not to attract stray
or
wild animals.
- Vaccinating all dogs and cats against rabies on a regular basis–as
prescribed by your veterinarian–is required by law.
