Officials organizing the clinic at the Annex, 1675 Flat River Rd., Coventry, RI, urged pet owners to pre-register at coventrypd.org.

Pre-registered pets will be given priority. Those who do not pre-register will still receive a vaccine for their pet, but will have an increased wait time. The clinic is open to Coventry and Non-Coventry residents.

Animal Control asks that all cats be in pet carriers and that all dogs be on leashes. The fee will be $20, cash only. Please contact Coventry Animal Control with any questions at 401-822-9106.

The clinic follows a July 10 rabies alert from the Ri Department of Health following a person in Coventry getting scratched by a stray cat that tested positive for rabies.
