Remember to vaccinate your pets against rabies!

The free rabies vaccinations for cats, dogs, and ferrets rolled out at Alzu Depot at the mall yesterday.

Pet owners can have their animals vaccinated against rabies for free, and from today onwards there are several vaccination points where you can take your animals.

The Middelburg State Veterinary Office is hosting the rabies vaccination drives across town and at nearby power stations, welcoming cats, dogs, and ferrets.
Even if your pet has been vaccinated before, veterinarians stress the importance of bringing the animals in for the shots to maintain a strong immune system.
