SPCA Monterey County reminds pet owners to keep their pets vaccinated. Rabies can be spread to people and pets if they are bitten or scratched by an animal with rabies.


Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal.


The SPCA provides low-cost vaccinations, including rabies vaccinations, throughout the year.  Rabies vaccinations for dogs or cats are just $25 each. Appointments are required and can be made at www.spcamc.org/vax. 


The low-cost SPCA Veterinary Clinic is located at 1002 Monterey-Salinas Highway across from Laguna Seca.


SPCA Monterey County is your nonprofit, independent, donor-supported humane society that has been serving the animals and people of Monterey County since 1905. The SPCA is not a chapter of any other agency and does not have a parent organization.  They shelter homeless, neglected and abused pets and livestock, and provide humane education and countless other services to the community. They are the local agency you call to investigate animal cruelty, rescue and rehabilitate injured wildlife, and aid domestic animals in distress.
