Finestrat subsidies dog vaccinations

THIS week, until Saturday, July 22, Finestrat Council is offering a reduced price to help dog owners with vaccination costs.

The annual anti-rabies vaccination and deworming campaign will be held at Finestrat veterinary clinic, located in the town centre at Carrer Figueretes, 31.

People residing in Finestrat who have a dog can take advantage of this municipal initiative to give their pets the anti-rabies vaccine. The opening hours of the vets are from Monday to Friday, from 9.30am to 6.30pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. The price is €14 for each dog, and appointments should be made in advance.

“Our pets have to be protected and, with it, also the health of people in the event of an incident such as a bite. To do this, vaccination and deworming are key to guaranteeing that our dogs are in the best condition,” said the councillor for the Environment, Estela Alvarez.

“Once again we are supporting this campaign with a contribution. The price of the vaccine will be €14 to make it affordable for all residents. Therefore, from here I encourage you to join this campaign so that no pet is left unvaccinated,” concluded Alvarez.

By law, all dogs that have reached four months of age must have an anti-rabies vaccine and a microchip. In addition, in the case of the vaccine, it is recommended that a booster dose is given every two years.

Appointments can be made by calling the veterinary clinic on 965 878 163.
