This notorious virus doesn't just affect outdoor animals. It can affect all pets, including indoor dogs and cats. That's why it's so important that pets are protected against the virus.
In New York City, it is the law the protect your pet against rabies. All puppies and kittens need to receive a rabies shot between three and four months of age. Then, they need to receive a booster shot every 1-4 years following.
Animals affected by rabies may exhibit aggression, avoid food and water, drool or have difficulty walking. If your pet is bitten by an animal that has rabies, whether it be a raccoon, bat, cat, dog, etc., it's important that you contact one of our offices immediately. If your pet has a current vaccine, your pet will be observed in your home for 45 days. If your pet is not vaccinated, it is important that your pet is quarantined and receives the care he or she needs.
