At just 14 weeks old, Luke Hottell received his vaccinations for Halloween. The German shepard was dressed as a Denver Bronco fan. Luke's people are Karen and Dave Hottell.
Prairie Animal Hospital in Kimball saw more than 100 cats and dogs during the two days of the Halloween Vaccine Clinic. Prairie Animal Hospital has been running the Halloween Vaccine Clinic for the past seven years.
The only rule to participate in the clinic was for cats and dogs to be in costume.
The reward for dog owners was discount shots for their pets. Rabies shots were $10, distemper/parvo $10, and distemper/parvo/lepto $15.
Cat owners also benefited from the dress-up days. Their pets received rabies shot for $10, feline distemper for $10, and feline leukemia for $20.
The three-member staff, including Miriam Shaw, D.V. M., reported that "It is a lot of fun. We really enjoy seeing all the animals and costumes."
Some people waited all year for the event and are on the Halloween shot schedule, according to the staff.
During this COVID-19 season, the vet clinic also has offered curbside service for its patients.
