Rabies is a zoonotic disease ( a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans) that attacks the central nervous system of the infected mammal. The virus is 100% preventable by raising awareness and vaccination of pets and wildlife. Vaccinate your animals and keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. According to Dr. Charles Rupprecht, former chief of the rabies program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Your local veterinarian plays a key role in controlling rabies.”
