Third annual Pet Owner's Day scheduled for Jersey City

Jersey City will hold it's third annual Pet Owner's Day beginning April 22nd and running through June 16th. The clinics, starting on April 22 and running through June 16, are a result of a $10,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Mayor Jerremiah Healy is solidly behind the effort and said "We felt it was important during these difficult economic times to find private funding for animal health and hope that all pet owners keep their animals up to date on all necessary shots." Right on Mayor, we agree.

As for the actual vaccinations given, the Jersey Journal tells us they will be:
*Dogs will be administered the DA2PP vaccination for distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza and parvovirus.
*Cats will be administered the FVRCP vaccination for feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia.

No word on fish or pet rhinos.
