Why is a Rabies Certificate important?

The Rabies Certificate serves multiple purposes. It is often required for pet travel, boarding, and participation in certain events.

It is essential to provide accurate information about the pet to ensure the certificate is valid.

How long is a Rabies Certificate valid?

The validity of a Rabies Certificate can vary based on the vaccine used. Typically, there are options for one-year or three-year vaccinations. The certificate will indicate the duration of validity, and pet owners should ensure that their pets receive booster vaccinations as required to maintain compliance.
