Rabies is not something we take lightly ⚠️
With another rabid bat recently confirmed in our area 🦇, we want to remind pet owners that keeping pets current on their rabies vaccination is not optional—it is one of the most important things you can do to protect them 🐾💉
Rabies is a fatal disease that can affect both animals and people ⚠️. Wildlife such as bats, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and even stray cats and dogs can serve as sources of exposure 🦝🦊🐕🐈. While vaccination greatly reduces your pet’s risk of contracting rabies, it also becomes critically important if an exposure occurs, often resulting in far less restrictive quarantine requirements and significantly improving the outcome for everyone involved ✅.
If your pet is overdue for a rabies vaccine, please make scheduling that appointment a priority 📅. If your pet has had any contact with a bat or other wildlife, contact a veterinarian immediately 📞.
This is one vaccine we strongly recommend every eligible pet receive and remain current on 💉🐾.
