How can rabies be prevented in animals?
There are several things you can do to protect your pet from rabies:
- Take your pet to your veterinarian regularly to keep rabies vaccinations up-to-date for all dogs, cats, and ferrets.
- Maintain control of your pets by keeping cats and ferrets indoors and keeping dogs under direct supervision.
- Spay or neuter your pets to help reduce the number of unwanted pets that may not be properly cared for or vaccinated regularly.
- Call animal control to remove all stray animals from your neighborhood since these animals may be unvaccinated or ill.
