Dog Training

You weren't born with good manners and neither was your dog! You learned how to behave, and so can your pet. No dog is too old to learn. If your pet has habits that are driving you crazy, FOCAS is here to help by sponsoring behavior modification seminars and puppy socialization classes for a modest fee. The result is a happy pet and a happy family.

Inoculations

Unless you are spaying or neutering a feral or stray cat, most veterinarians require that your pet be inoculated for both rabies and distemper at least two weeks prior to an appointment. Rabies shots are available at the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro for Bergen County residents only. There is no charge for this service. The shelter's number is (201) 229-4600.
