BENTON COUNTY — The Arkansas Department of Health is partnering with local veterinarians for the Benton County Rabies Clinic Week 2011.

On April 2-9, participating veterinarian offices will be offering the rabies vaccination for dogs and cats at reduced rates. Some veterinarians will also be conducting walk-up clinics throughout Benton County.

Many veterinarians will also offer regular vaccinations at reduced rates in their offices. It is Arkansas state law to have dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian.

Contact the Benton County Health Unit a 986-1365 for a full list of clinics and participating veterinarians.

The list is also available on the Benton County Web site www.co.benton.ar.us.
