The Ottawa County Department of Public Health has been notified that a bat recently submitted has tested positive for rabies.

There were no reported cases of rabies in animals or humans in 2023. As of July 12, 2024, there have been 18 reported cases of animals with rabies in the State of Michigan.

Given this local information, please be vigilant for potential rabies exposure during the coming months. It is very important to keep all pets up to date on rabies vaccinations. While rabies vaccinations are not required for cats, it is still strongly encouraged for all cats, including indoor cats.

Rabies is a fatal, but preventable disease. Please contact our office with any questions.

Currently our phone, internet and billing service is down. We are unable to receive any incoming calls, access our email, make outgoing calls or use credit card payments. Our internet service is working hard to get this resolved. We are sorry for the inconvenience and our limited capacity at this time. Current appointments will not be affected, but we are urging those with a sick pet that needs to be seen to please call local urgent care facilities such as Ottawa Animal Hospital, Animal Emergency Hospital (Grand Rapids or Byron Center) or Blue Pearl (Grand Rapids). We appreciate your patience and understanding and will let you know as soon as the issue is resolved.
