How to stay safe from rabies virus
If bitten or scratched by wild or domestic animals, seek medical attention and promptly report exposure to local animal control.
Do not handle, feed, or unintentionally attract wild or stray animals, including cats, by leaving pet food outside or garbage cans open.
Keep rabies vaccinations up to date for all pets.
Do not allow your pets to run free. Follow leash laws by keeping pets secured on your property.
If your pet is bitten by a wild, stray, or unknown animal, seek veterinary assistance immediately and report the incident to your local animal control agency.
