‼️Bats can carry and spread rabies without appearing ill. PLEASE keep your pets, including indoor cats, current on their rabies vaccines and if you do find a bat in a building, always call Animal Control!!

🚨 Rabies Alert in Dwight 🚨

We’ve been notified that a bat in the Dwight area has tested positive for rabies. While this may sound alarming, it’s an important reminder to stay vigilant and ensure your pets are protected.

🦇 What does this mean for your pets?
Rabies is a deadly virus that can affect both cats and dogs — and is 100% preventable with up-to-date vaccinations. Curious, unvaccinated pets are especially at risk if they encounter infected wildlife like bats, raccoons, or skunks. Indoor only pets too!

✅ If your pet’s rabies vaccine is overdue or you’re unsure of their vaccination status, give us a call at 815-584-2732. We’re here to help keep them safe.

📍 Found a bat (especially if dead or acting strangely)?
Do not touch it — even with gloves. Instead, contact your local health department or animal control immediately for safe handling and guidance.

Let’s work together to keep our community — and our pets — safe and healthy. 🐾
