🐾🦇 Happy World Rabies Day! 🦇🐾
Rabies may be scary, but the good news is that prevention is powerful! 💪🐶🐱 Here are our top 4 tips for keeping your family and furry friends safe:
💉 1. Keep those vaccines up to date!
Make sure your pet’s rabies vaccine is current. Vaccine requirements can vary by location, so check with your veterinarian to make sure your pet is protected. 🩺🐾
🚨 2. Give wildlife plenty of space!
If you see a wild animal acting strangely or your pet has had contact with one, don’t try to handle it yourself. Call your local animal control and let the professionals take it from there. 🦝🦨🦊
⏰ 3. If there’s an exposure, act FAST!
If you or your pet may have been exposed to rabies, contact your healthcare provider and veterinarian right away. When it comes to rabies, timing is critical—don’t wait to see what happens.
🦇 4. When it comes to bats, look but don’t touch!
Bats are the leading source of human rabies cases in the U.S., and bites or scratches may be tiny or even go unnoticed.
✨ A little prevention can go a long way toward keeping our families happy, healthy, and rabies-free!
