Rabies is a viral disease that is thought to infect all mammals, including humans. There is no treatment for rabies and it is always fatal. Rabies continues to survive in wildlife species such as bats, raccoons, foxes, and skunks.
It is important to vaccinate your domestic animals because they are a common link between humans and wildlife. Modern vaccines are considered to be very effective in preventing rabies transmission should your animal be exposed.
