Free Vaccination and Deworming at Bark N Brush
Hey there, fellow Patna pet parent!
Can you believe it? The festive season is just around the corner, and the air is starting to get that little nip that makes early morning walks with our furry friends so much more enjoyable. But before we dive headfirst into the Durga Puja decorations and holiday planning, there’s a date on the calendar that’s incredibly important for all of us who share our homes and hearts with a four-legged family member.
September 28th, 2025 – World Rabies Day.
Now, I know what you might be thinking. “Rabies? That’s a scary word. My dog never leaves the house, so we’re fine, right?” Or, “I got my puppy vaccinated once, isn’t that enough?”
Trust me, I’ve been there. A few years ago, I thought the same. Let me share a quick story.
When I first brought Buddy, my golden retriever, home as a wriggly little pup, I was overwhelmed with information. One vet said to vaccinate at 8 weeks, another said 12. I was confused and, I’ll admit, a little hesitant. What if the vaccine made him sick? I delayed it by a couple of months, thinking my secure apartment compound was safe enough. Then, one evening, a bat found its way into our balcony. Buddy was curious, and before I could react, he’d sniffed and nudged it. The panic I felt was indescribable. After a frantic call to the vet, we learned that even that minor contact was a risk. We had to rush for an emergency booster shot. That night taught me a brutal lesson: it’s never worth the gamble. Prevention isn’t just better than cure; it’s peace of mind.
That peace of mind is what World Rabies Day is all about. It’s a global mission to eradicate this terrible disease, and it starts right here, in our own neighborhoods in Patna. And at Bark N Brush, your go-to Best Pet Shop in Patna, we’re not just talking about it – we’re doing something about it.
Our Annual Promise: Free Vaccination & Deworming Camp!
For us, this day is bigger than any sale or promotion. It’s a day of community service, a day to give back to the pets that give us so much unconditional love. So, once again, we’re thrilled to host our annual FREE Vaccination and Deworming Camp across two of our outlets.
Mark your calendars and spread the word!
- Patliputra Colony Outlet: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Kankarbagh Colony Outlet: 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Yes, you read that right. It’s completely free. We want to make sure that cost is never a barrier to keeping our pet community safe and healthy.
But Why is the Rabies Vaccine So Crucial? Let’s Break It Down.
Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the nervous system and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. The key word there is almost. It is 100% preventable through vaccination.
Here’s the thing we often forget in a city like Patna: rabies isn’t just carried by stray dogs. The virus can be found in other animals like bats, monkeys, and cats. Your leashed dog on a walk might have a curious sniffing encounter with a seemingly harmless animal, and that’s all it takes.
The vaccine creates a protective shield, not just for your pet, but for you and your family too. By vaccinating our pets, we create a immune barrier for the entire human community. It’s a act of love that ripples outwards.
And Let’s Not Forget the Deworming!
While rabies is the star of the show, we’re also including free deworming because a truly healthy pet is one that’s protected from threats both inside and out. Worms can cause everything from a dull coat and low energy to serious digestive issues and malnutrition, especially in growing puppies and kittens.
Regular deworming is a simple, quick way to ensure your pet is absorbing all the nutrients from the great food you give them and is thriving from the inside out.
Benefits of Pet Vaccination and Deworming
- Free Protection: Take advantage of this opportunity to protect your pet from rabies and intestinal parasites without any cost.
- Community Health: By vaccinating your pet, you’re contributing to a rabies-free Patna and protecting the entire community.
- Expert Care: Our experienced and compassionate team will administer the vaccinations and deworming treatments with the utmost care and attention.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your pet is protected against rabies and parasites will give you peace of mind and allow you to enjoy your time together to the fullest.
Actionable Tips You Can Start TODAY!
Waiting for the 28th is great, but your pet’s health journey is everyday. Here are a few simple things you can do right now:
- Check Their Papers: Dig out your pet’s vaccination record. When was their last shot? If it’s been over a year, the 28th is the perfect day to get them up to date.
- Observe Their Poop: I know, not the most glamorous task, but a quick glance can tell you a lot. Look for signs of worms (they can look like small grains of rice or spaghetti). If you see anything suspicious, it just confirms how important deworming is.
- Practice Polite Leash Behaviour: Start training your dog to not eagerly greet every stray animal on your walks. A simple “leave it” command can prevent a lot of potential risky encounters. This takes time, so be patient!
- Secure Your Home: Check your windows and balconies for gaps where bats or other small animals could enter, especially as the weather cools and they look for shelter.
Common Mistakes Even Well-Meaning Pet Parents Make
We’ve all learned through trial and error. Let’s learn from each other’s mistakes to keep our pets safer.
- Mistake #1: The “One-and-Done” Vaccine Mindset. Puppy shots are not for life. Immunity wanes. A rabies vaccine is typically effective for one to three years (your vet will advise on the schedule). Assuming one puppy shot lasts forever is a dangerous gamble.
- Mistake #2: “My Indoor Cat Doesn’t Need It.” This is a big one! What if your cat slips out an open door? What if a bat gets inside? It’s better to have the protection and not need it than to need it and not have it.
- Mistake #3: Ignoring Regular Deworming. Many think deworming is only for pets who eat off the street. But pets can pick up worm eggs from the soil, from other animals’ feces in the park, or even from grooming themselves after walking outside.
- Mistake #4: Not Keeping a Record. That little vaccination booklet is a passport to your pet’s health. Keep it safe! Take a picture of it and save it on your phone. It’s essential for travel, boarding, and in case of an emergency.
What to Expect on the Day (September 28th)
To make everything smooth and stress-free for you and your pet, here’s the game plan:
- Please Bring: Your pet (on a leash or in a secure carrier) and any past vaccination records you have.
- Stay Calm: Your pet can pick up on your anxiety. Talk to them in a calm, cheerful voice. We’ll have treats on hand to make it a positive experience!
- Be Patient: We expect a good turnout because the community in Patna is full of amazing, caring pet owners. There might be a short wait, but it’s for a wonderful cause. Use the time to chat with other pet lovers!
- Our Team: The vaccinations will be administered by qualified and experienced veterinarians we’ve partnered with. Your pet’s safety is our top priority.
