Why vaccinate my PET against rabies?

Rabies is a serious viral disease that affects the central nervous system of mammals, including humans and animals. It is almost always fatal to both animals and humans, therefore vaccination is a crucial measure to prevent the spread of the disease.

The anti-rabies vaccine is highly efficient in preventing rabies. It stimulates the animal’s immune system to produce antibodies against the rabies virus. If the animal is exposed to the virus in the future, these antibodies will help protect it and fight the infection.

In addition to protecting your animal, anti-rabies vaccination is also important for public health. Rabies is a zoonosis, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans. By vaccinating your pet, you help reduce the risk of rabies transmission to you, your family and other people.
