Free Pet Rabies Clinic In South Brunswick: What To Know

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — Cat and dog owners can get their pets vaccinated against rabies for free in South Brunswick this month.

The township is holding the free rabies clinic on two Saturdays, Nov. 7 and Nov. 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be at the Municipal Garage behind the Utilities Building, 540 Ridge Road, Monmouth Junction.

The clinic is open to all New Jersey residents, not just people who live in South Brunswick.

Dogs must be on a leash, and cats must be in a carrier. The township also asks owners to muzzle dogs if needed.

Bring proof of a prior rabies vaccination, such as a pet license, license tag or vet record, to qualify for a three-year shot. Pets without a prior record will get a one-year vaccination.

“The Township is proud to offer this free clinic to help keep our community and our pets safe,” Mayor Charlie Carley said. “Routine vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect against rabies and ensure the well-being of both animals and residents.”

South Brunswick residents can also take their pets to rabies clinics in other New Jersey towns.

All dogs and cats in the township must be licensed every year and have a rabies vaccination that is valid for the full licensing year.
