Every year on September 28th, World Rabies Day shines a spotlight on the importance of rabies prevention across the globe. For pet owners in the UAE, it’s a reminder of how crucial it is to safeguard our pets from this life-threatening disease. At Pet First Veterinary Clinic, we are dedicated to raising awareness and ensuring that all pets in our care remain protected through responsible pet ownership and regular veterinary visits.
What is Rabies?
Rabies is a viral disease that can affect all mammals, including cats, dogs, and even humans. It is transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal. The virus impacts the nervous system and, once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal.
Fortunately, rabies is 100% preventable through vaccination, which is why at Pet First Veterinary Clinic, we stress the importance of keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date.
Why is World Rabies Day Important?
World Rabies Day serves as a global campaign to educate people about rabies prevention and control. In the UAE, where pets are cherished members of the family, protecting them against rabies is not just an option but a responsibility.
At Pet First Veterinary Clinic, we believe that preventing rabies is a key aspect of ensuring the health and safety of pets and their communities.
Steps Pet Owners in the UAE Can Take to Prevent Rabies
- Vaccinate Your Pets: Rabies vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent this disease. Pet First Veterinary Clinic offers rabies vaccinations as part of our comprehensive health services to help ensure your pet’s well-being.
- Schedule Regular Health Checkups: Regular veterinary checkups are crucial in maintaining your pet’s health. During these visits, our team at Pet First Veterinary Clinic will make sure your pet’s vaccinations are current and they’re in top health.
- Minimize Contact with Stray Animals: While domestic pets may be vaccinated, it’s essential to minimize their exposure to stray or wild animals that may carry rabies. Ensure your pet is always supervised outdoors.
- Keep a Pet First Aid Kit Handy: Accidents can happen. Having a pet first aid kit on hand can help manage wounds or injuries before bringing your pet to Pet First Veterinary Clinic for further care.
