How to Prepare Your Pet
Dogs must be leashed
Bring dogs on a secure leash and keep them under control while waiting. The event instructions say aggressive dogs must be properly muzzled. If you are unsure whether your dog can safely manage a busy public setting, contact the organisers before attending.
Cats need a closed carrier
Cats must arrive in a closed carrier or basket. A secure carrier helps reduce the chance of escape and can make the visit less stressful for the animal.
Allow time for a first-come, first-served clinic
The event is listed as first come, first served. The listing also mentions a pre-registration option through a QR code on the event flyer. Check the current event page or call the department to confirm whether pre-registration is still available.
Dog Licences and Vaccination Advice
The event listing says Atlantic City residents may purchase a dog licence at the City Clerk table. The listed fee is $15.20 for a dog that is spayed or neutered and $21.20 for a dog that is not fixed. Confirm current requirements and payment methods with the city before attending.
Rabies is a serious disease that can affect mammals, including people and pets. Keeping a pet’s rabies vaccination current is an important part of responsible pet care. If your pet has a medical condition or a history of vaccine reactions, speak with your regular veterinarian about its individual needs. For general background, review the CDC rabies guidance.
