Book a spot at the next microchip and rabies clinic on July 26
Vaughan Animal Services (VAS) is dedicated to creating a safe community for pets and their owners – which includes offering microchipping services and rabies vaccines.
Book an appointment to bring your pets to the microchip and rabies clinic at the Vaughan Animal Shelter (70 Tigi Crt., Unit 47) on Sunday, July 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call the City of Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or email animal.services@vaughan.ca to schedule your timeslot. Walk-ins will not be accepted. Everyone is welcome to attend; you do not need to live in Vaughan to book an appointment.
The following services can be booked in advance and will be available at the clinic:
Microchip implant and registration ($25 per pet plus tax)
Rabies vaccine, certificate and tag ($25 per pet plus tax). Learn more about rabies vaccine regulations in Ontario.
City of Vaughan and King Township 2026 pet licence ($25 per pet)
Having your pet microchipped helps to easily identify and safely reunite you with your pet if they are lost. Vaccinating your pet against rabies helps with medical follow-ups for people or animals potentially exposed to infected animals. Hosting these clinics help VAS to supplement and manage the costs of sheltering animals and providing education, outreach and compliance measures.
As a reminder, all City facilities are cashless. Debit and credit cards will be accepted at the clinic. You can also pay in advance at the shelter or over the phone between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Thursday, July 23 to Saturday, July 25.
Can’t attend? You can get or renew a pet licence online! To start, look at your pet licence renewal letter to find your login information or contact the City at 905-832-2281. If this is your first time registering for a pet licence, you can create an account directly online.
All dogs and cats in Vaughan must wear a licence (numbered tag), purchased from the City, at all times. Licences are not transferrable.
Dog and cat licences expire annually and must be renewed before the purchase anniversary date to ensure your pet’s information is kept up to date. Existing registered owners will be notified at renewal time.
