An important part of professional pet care is staying educated about animal health and safety, recognizing preventable risks, and taking precautions to protect the pets in our care and our community.
With today being World Rabies Day, we also want to recognize the amazing veterinarians and veterinary teams who help protect our pets by administering rabies vaccines, educating pet owners and helping prevent the spread of this deadly disease. ❤️
A few rabies facts you may not know:
🐾 Rabies affects the central nervous system of mammals, including pets, wildlife and humans. Once clinical symptoms develop, it is virtually 100% fatal, making prevention incredibly important.
🐾 In Ontario, dogs, cats and ferrets must be vaccinated against rabies once they reach 3 months of age, even indoor pets.
🐾 Depending on the vaccine, boosters may be required every 1 to 3 years.
🐾 Bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes are among the wildlife that can carry rabies in Ontario.
This is why we require proof of an up-to-date rabies vaccination for dogs and cats before their first scheduled service. It’s one more precaution we can take to protect your pets, other animals and our community.
