Rabies alert for South Charlotte pet parents 🚨
Two raccoons near our practice have tested positive for rabies in the past week. Rabies is preventable, but there’s no cure once symptoms start, so now is the time to make sure your pets are protected.
Here’s what to do:
✅ Check that your dog’s and cat’s rabies vaccines are up-to-date (indoor cats included!)
✅ Keep pets on a leash and supervise time in the yard, especially at dawn and dusk
✅ Secure trash cans and bring pet food bowls inside, so wildlife isn’t drawn to your home
✅ If your pet has any contact with a raccoon, bat, fox, or other wildlife, call us right away. Timing matters.
Not sure when your pet’s last rabies vaccine was? Give us a call and our team will check their records and get them protected. 📞️ 704-705-8632
