Kane County Animal Control has announced the 2026 dates for its popular low-cost, drive-through rabies vaccination and microchip clinics, making it easier for pet owners to protect their animals and comply with Illinois law.

Clinics will be held at the Kane County Animal Control Facility, 4060 Keslinger Road in Geneva, on the following dates:

  • Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.: April 25, June 27, August 8, and October 10
  • Wednesdays, 4:30 – 7 p.m.: May 13 and September 16

The cost for a one-year rabies vaccine with tag is $30 for neutered pets and $55 for non-neutered pets. Kane County residents age 65 and older receive discounted rates of $15 (neutered) and $25 (non-neutered) with valid ID. Microchips are available for $15.

The clinics continue to draw strong participation countywide. In 2025, Kane County Animal Control vaccinated 698 animals, including 554 dogs and 144 cats, and implanted 107 microchips through these clinics. More than 40 percent of vaccinations were provided at senior discount rates, underscoring the value of affordable pet care services for residents.

All owners must disclose if their pet has bitten anyone within the past 10 days. An adult age 18 or older must be present to handle the animal. Pets requiring muzzles must arrive with one properly fitted. Kane County residents are required by law to purchase a registration tag at the time of vaccination.

Rabies is a deadly viral disease that attacks the central nervous system and is most commonly spread through animal bites. Vaccination remains the most effective way to protect pets, people, and the community.
