Events

You are required to have a current rabies certificate for all dogs with you when attending a Rhode Island AKC sponsored event. All animals should appear to be in good health and may be subject to examination by a local veterinarian. We have been told that a Certified Veterinary Certificate will not be required for these events.

Agility

Our 2018 event on Saturday, May 12 and Sunday, May 13 was a great success.

Thanks to everyone who participated and a special thank you to Susan Porier who chaired the event. We all had a great time running our dogs and things went very smoothly due to all of the volunteers who pitched in. We currently don’t have another agility event scheduled, but we plan to run this event next year in May.

Conformation

Thanks to all who participated in our Sumer Fun Cluster with the Greater Lowell Kennel Club including our Judges Education Seminars. We will post information about our upcoming 2019 conformation events as soon as they are scheduled.

Obedience

Our 2018 Obedience event was held in conjunction with the Summer Fun Cluster. Watch this space for news about upcoming events.

Vet Clinics

The Providence County Kennel Club encourages everyone to give their pet proper medical care and follow all laws and regulations regarding vaccinations. The following list is provided to assist those who do not have a local veterinarian or who have a financial hardship. These are well health clinics only. Be sure to bring your previous rabies certificate to the clinic if you have one.

To find Rabies Clinics run by the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Association, see the RIVMA web site. They are scheduled for dates in the spring, so check back for dates in 2019. The cost varies between $10 and $12 for the rabies vaccination and payment must be made in cash.

The Rhode Island SPCA runs an Almost-Free Rabies Clinic each year in the fall and in 2018 the date will be Saturday, October 20th from 10am to 2pm. See the RISPCA web site for details. The “cost” of the vaccine is 5 cans or boxes of unexpired non-perishable food that will be donated to a local food bank.

Vetco provides affordable pet vaccinations at Petco locations in Providence, Cranston, Warwick, North Kingstown and Middletown. For locations and dates and times see the Vetco clinics web site. Their price for vaccinations is found on the Vetco web site.

VIP Petcare runs affordable pet vaccine clinics in conjunction with local Tractor Supply and pet stores. These clinics provide $19 rabies vaccinations and $19 microchip id with free lifetime registration through Found Animals Foundation. They also provide other vaccinations and tests.
