************With Rabies, there are NO Maybes****************
Ever wonder why veterinarians and public health officials are so adamant about keeping your pet’s Rabies vaccine current? Because the Rabies virus DOES exist here in Shasta County—and if your pet is unvaccinated, exposure can become serious very quickly.
Wildlife like bats, skunks, and raccoons can carry Rabies right into your yard, and even into your home. An unvaccinated, exposed pet puts not only themselves at risk, but also you, your family, and the veterinary staff who handle them.
Rabies is a fatal disease—but it’s preventable.
* Around 40% of victims are children under 15 years old
* 99% of human rabies cases are caused by cat and dog bites or scratches
* Rabies is responsible for approximately 70,000 human deaths worldwide each year
* Diagnosis includes quarantine and/or euthanasia and isn't pretty
Protect your pet. Protect your family. Keep Rabies vaccines up to date.
