Free and Low Cost Rabies Vaccination Clinics in Charlotte

Rabies vaccination is required by North Carolina and South Carolina law for all cats, dogs and ferrets over four months of age. Even if the city or county you live in doesn’t require your pet to be registered, (see which Charlotte area municipalities require animal licenses) rabies vaccination is still required.

Rabies vaccinations are good for one or three years.
