Hoffman Estates, IL – Schaumburg Township will host a free rabies vaccine and microchip clinic for pets this Saturday, providing an opportunity for Cook County residents to keep their cats and dogs safe and compliant with local requirements.
According to Schaumburg Township officials, the event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1 Illinois Blvd. in Hoffman Estates. The clinic is open to all Cook County residents who bring a valid ID and pets at least three months old.
The program offers rabies vaccinations and microchipping free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Officials noted that rabies tags are not included in the clinic and must be purchased separately through the Cook County website.
Pet owners are reminded that rabies vaccinations are a legal requirement in Cook County and a critical step in preventing the spread of the deadly virus. Microchipping provides a permanent form of identification, helping to reunite lost pets with their owners more quickly.
Township representatives encourage residents to arrive early due to high demand at past events.
