Conditions Of Rabies And Animals Known To Pass On Rabies

9. Domestic Animals

Domestic animals like dogs, cats, horses, and cattle can get rabies by being bitten by an infected animal. Preventative measures recommended for pet owners include having their animals vaccinated. Pets will have a reduced risk of coming across an infected animal if they are permitted only to roam in an enclosed yard or on a leash. Spaying and neutering help control their desire to wander. Any pet displaying classic symptoms should be taken to the veterinarian immediately.
