It is spring and many animals are emerging from their dens. Some of these animals are a source of rabies. There are different rabies sources in different parts of the world. It is good to know your own local danger. We have some raccoon rabies in Ontario. In other places it could be skunks or bats. It doesn't matter what animal is the source. There is a way to protect your pets from rabies. Regular vaccinations for rabies will protect your pet and ultimately protect yourself and your family.

It seems strange that rabies is becoming more common again. I know in some areas there is an effort being made to vaccinate the wild animals. This will help break the cycle of transmission. However the only way to prevent death from rabies is to be vaccinated for it. Our pets are like members of the family. Protecting them is the least we can do.
