According to a 2022 report in JAVMA, more than half of all cases of rabies reported in the U.S. took place in just six states: North Carolina, Texas, California, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Raccoons, skunks and bats are the most common vectors, but many other mammals can be infected.

Keeping your animals away from wildlife and keeping their vaccination status up to date is crucial to protect them and your family against this deadly virus. By state law, all dogs, cats and ferrets must be vaccinated against rabies, but veterinarians recommend livestock and horses also be vaccinated.

Telemedicine can be useful in veterinary medicine. However, under state law, a Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship must be established prior to a telemedicine visit. That means a veterinarian and an animal must have at least one in-person visit before a telehealth visit.

Telehealth is helpful in many cases:
•Telehealth provides veterinary consultations to pet owners in remote or underserved locations.
• It offers timely advice for non-emergency concerns, reducing the need for travel.
•Telehealth facilitates follow-up appointments and the management of chronic conditions.

Today, and every day, we pause to remember the pets who have touched our lives with unconditional love and companionship. Losing a furry, feathered, or scaled friend can be incredibly hard, but their memories remain in our hearts forever. ❤️

At NCVMA, we celebrate the bond between humans and animals and acknowledge the grief that comes with saying goodbye. One way to honor a beloved pet is through the Friends of NCVMA Memorial Card, which provides a lasting tribute while supporting the veterinary community.

Every day, North Carolina veterinarians witness something extraordinary: the profound bond between pets and their families.

It's in the gentle touch of a hand on fur, the worried look of a pet parent, and the tail wag that says ""everything's okay.""

The human-animal bond is an important relationship that has mental, emotional, and physical benefits for both pets and people. As your veterinary partners, we're honored to protect and strengthen these life-changing connections. Because when we heal your pet, we're healing your heart too.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month!

Pain isn't just a human experience—our pets feel it too. Whether it's from arthritis, dental issues, or post-surgical recovery, animals often hide their discomfort. Recognizing the signs early can make all the difference.

Signs Your Pet Might Be in Pain:
-Reluctance to jump or climb stairs
-Decreased grooming or hiding
-Changes in appetite or behavior
-Excessive licking or chewing of a specific area
-Vocalizations like whining or growling

Let's commit to understanding and alleviating our pets' pain. Together, we can ensure our furry companions lead pain-free, happy lives.
