Rabies Vaccine Clinics
Rabies vaccine clinics in ontario
Rabies is a viral disease, that affects the brain and central nervous system, and can be spread to mammals (including people and animals- both wild and domestic) through contact with saliva or nerve tissues from an infected animal. The most common way the rabies virus is transmitted is through a bite or scratch from a rabid animal. Rabies can also be spread when infected saliva or nerve tissue comes in contact with an open wound or is introduced into a mucous membrane like the eyes, nose or mouth. In most cases, once symptoms appear, rabies virus is almost always fatal. Providing your pet with a rabies vaccination is the easiest way to keep your pets safe.

Rabies isn’t the only thing to worry about!
Although rabies vaccination is an important part of your animal’s health care, disease prevention and treatment does not stop at rabies. It is important to build a relationship with a Veterinarian and their veterinary healthcare team to ensure all of your pets medical needs are taken care of. This may include: health examinations, preventive vaccinations and treatments against other diseases that are integral to the well being of your pet. Building this relationship will enhance the quality of life your pet receives. For more information on how to keep your pet healthy click here.
