PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale and Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control are partnering to present a low cost vaccination, microchip and licensing clinic.

The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at Poncitlán Square (28300 block of 9th St. East between Ave Q-9 and Ave. Q-10) in Palmdale.

Vaccines will be available for pets, including:

  • Rabies for $10;
  • DHLPP for $15;
  • Bordetella for $15;
  • Roundworm for $5;
  • Tapeworm for $15; and
  • FVRCP for $15.
  • AVID Microchips with lifetime registrations will be available for $15.

“In the city of Palmdale, all dogs and cats over the age of four months are required to be licensed and vaccinated,” stated Crime Prevention Officer Kery German. “This low cost clinic makes this easy and affordable.”

“Microchipping is one of the most effective ways possible to help lost pets reunite with their owners” German stated.

German also encourages all owners to have their pets spayed or neutered.

“Our shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with animals that need homes, and unfortunately many will never find one,” she said.

Some online resources regarding vaccinations, microchips and spaying/neutering that pet owners may find useful include:

  1. What is the cost of licensing per animal?
    Are Littlerock addresses able to register at this event?

    Thanks!

      • Thanks for getting back to me. Just to clarify, if my dogs are registered to a Littlerock address, will they be eligible to recieve the discounted vaccinations?

        Also, the website you linked doesn’t actually say what the price is. It says the price is $15 more for personalization and $5 for a replacement, and the late fee is equal to the cost of the license but doesn’t say what the base cost is.

        Also, does my dog need to be sterilized to get a license?

        Thanks!

        • Hi Jon,

          Yes, anyone who comes to the clinic for vaccinations from Los Angeles County can get the discounted vaccinations.

          Here is a link to the pdf that gives the costs of the licenses. http://file.lacounty.gov/dacc/Cms1_199304.pdf

          Because you do not live in Palmdale, I do not know if you have to have to show proof of sterilization to get your dog licensed. Please call the Department of Animal Care and Control at 661-940-4191 to find out. My guess is yes, but I’m only certain of the requirements for Palmdale residents.

  3. Q: Can I have my dog or cat Spayed or Neutered for a reduced fee at the clinic? If so, how much will it cost?

    • Hi Scott,

      No, there will not be spay and neuter services at this clinic Only vaccinations, microchipping and licensing.
