Affordable Pet Vaccinations and Microchipping Available Memorial Weekend in Montesano
HOQUIAM, WASHINGTON — North Beach PAWS will kick off its 2026 series of low-cost pet vaccination clinics for dogs and cats on Saturday, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Brady Veterinary Hospital, 450 Monte Brady Rd., in Montesano. Core vaccinations and microchipping will be available for just $20 each.
The clinic will offer core vaccinations for dogs - rabies, DAPP, Bordetella, and microchips. For cats - rabies, FVRCP, parasite treatments for fleas, ticks, roundworms, hookworms and ear mites as well as microchips.
North Beach PAWS, an all-volunteer, no-kill animal shelter based in Hoquiam, continues to expand its outreach to ensure more pets have access to affordable care. In 2025 alone, the organization vaccinated and microchipped 492 cats and dogs in the community.
“For many families in Grays Harbor, these clinics are the only affordable option they have. Diseases like rabies and parvovirus pose real risks to people and wildlife, not just unvaccinated animals. A vaccinated pet is a protected pet, and a microchipped pet is a pet that can find its way home. This is how we keep animals out of shelters and keep families whole.”
Washington State law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies. Other diseases such as distemper are prevalent in wildlife and can infect unvaccinated pets. Thanks to vaccinations, numerous common diseases are entirely preventable. A microchip is the only permanent identification that can reunite you with your beloved lost pet. Unlike collars and ID tags that can break or get lost, a microchip will last for the life of your pet.
