NC law requires that all cats and dogs must be vaccinated and remain vaccinated against rabies from the age of four months.
For three-year vaccinations, owners must present a current (unexpired) rabies vaccine certificate; otherwise vaccinations are good for one year.
Dogs must be securely leashed and cats should be in carriers.
Vaccines are either $10 or $7 depending on the verterinary practice administering the clinic.

SNAP Mobile and Community Pets Mobile Veterinary Clinic
The next SNAP Mobile clinic is May 12, 2025.
Limits: Maximum of two pets (2 cats, 2 dogs, or 1 of each) under 6 years old and over 4 months old by surgery date. Due to higher risk, all dogs must weigh less than 40 lbs., and we cannot take “smush face” breeds or mixes (eg. pug, Shih Tzu, bulldog, Persian cats).
