Why vaccinating your pets matters:
Vaccinations help protect dogs and cats from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. Keeping pets up to date on their vaccines also helps reduce the spread of preventable illnesses and protects other animals and people in our community. Rabies vaccination is especially important for protecting public health.
Pet safety is community safety!
At Denton County ESD, we know that a safe community starts at home. Responsible pet ownership—including vaccinations, proper restraint, identification, and keeping pets secure—helps prevent emergencies and keeps families, neighbors, animals, and first responders safer.
Unrestrained or frightened animals can create additional hazards during medical emergencies, fires, vehicle incidents, and other calls for service. Keeping pets healthy, secure, and properly identified helps our firefighters and EMS personnel do their jobs safely while protecting the people and animals we serve.
A few safety reminders for your visit: • Keep dogs on a secure leash. • Keep cats in a secure carrier. • Bring any available vaccination records. • Please keep pets under control and give other animals plenty of space.
We look forward to welcoming our community and helping local pets live healthier, safer lives! Thank you to TCAP for partnering with us to make preventive pet care more accessible.
