World Rabies Day for Pet Owners

On World Rabies Day, observed on September 28th, the focus shifts to safeguarding both pets and humans from the grave dangers of rabies.

The disease, transmitted through bites, poses a serious threat to mammals, including pets, leading to behavioral changes, paralysis, and often fatal outcomes. Through vaccinations, responsible pet ownership, and swift action in case of exposure, pet owners play a crucial role in preventing the spread of rabies and ensuring a safer coexistence for all.
