notes: Animal Control Just like your car needs to be registered, so does your dog. It’s pertinent to your pet’s health to be up to date on its rabies and booster vaccinations. Your beloved pet might not leave your yard, but wildlife may enter your yard and infect your pet with rabies and distemper virus. Help keep your pet safe by vaccinating, and licensing your pet today. We offer low cost vaccination clinics to the residents of Duarte every year in the month of June. Remember to spay or neuter your pet, dogs get a 50 percent discount per year on licensing. Times are hard with the economy, so don’t take the risk of being cited for having an unlicensed dog. It could cost you precious time and money you can’t afford to lose.
