September is Rabies Awareness Month, and all veterinarians and State Veterinary Offices in Lydenburg are offering free rabies vaccinations.
Rabies is a zoonotic disease (transmitted from animal to human) that can affect the brain and cause death. In most cases, rabies is contracted by being bitten by a cat or dog that has it.
On September 27 and 28, the State Veterinarian Offices (corners of Voortrekker and Lydenburg streets) will vaccinate cats and dogs between 08:30 and 16:00.
Make arrangements with one of the following local veterinary clinics to have your animals vaccinated: Sterkspruit Veterinary Clinic on 013 235 4132, the Longtom Dierekliniek on 071 285 8122, or the Lydenburg Animal Clinic on 013 235 3039.
