The Municipal Health Department advises pet owners to check in advance which location and service period are closest to their home. This is especially important for sites that operate during only one period. The list above follows the municipal schedule published for September 20.
Useful guidance for bringing your dog or cat
The 2026 notice confirms that the campaign is for dogs and cats and asks owners to follow the regional schedule. As additional context, official notices from recent municipal campaigns advised owners to bring the animal's vaccination card and stated that dogs and cats from three months of age could be vaccinated. They also recommended prior veterinary evaluation for animals that are ill, debilitated, or pregnant females. These instructions appear in official City Hall material about the rabies vaccination campaign.
- Confirm the address and service period before traveling.
- Keep the animal safely restrained in a way appropriate to its size and behavior.
- If you have the vaccination card, bring it so the record can be updated.
- If the animal is ill, debilitated, or pregnant, seek veterinary guidance before vaccination.
The specific 2026 notices reviewed for this stage do not repeat every operational detail from earlier editions. If staff at the vaccination site give different instructions, follow the current guidance provided by the team on duty.
Why rabies vaccination is a public health measure
City Hall states that rabies is a serious and fatal disease that can affect animals and can also be transmitted to humans. Vaccinating dogs and cats is the main preventive measure in the municipal campaign. In 2026, Poços de Caldas' 39th National Animal Rabies Vaccination Campaign began on September 1 in rural areas and later moved through urban regions on weekends, according to the general schedule published by the municipality.
What if I cannot reach a West Region site today?
The 2026 general schedule continues with the Central Region on Saturday, September 26. That stage has its own addresses and service hours. Anyone unable to attend this Sunday should check the official schedule before traveling because vaccination sites change by region and date.
