Pet Vaccinations at Pinnacle Vet Clinic

Rabies Vaccine

All dogs and cats must be vaccinated against the rabies virus. This vaccine must be administered annually. Some people believe you should only vaccinate outside animals, but all dogs and cats should be vaccinated.

Rabies is a serious disease and carries an almost 100% mortality rate in animals and humans once symptoms occur.

The rabies vaccine is required by law to be administered by a licensed veterinarian.

The virus attacks the brain of mammals via saliva, entering a wound or broken skin. Mammals can spread rabies, including dogs, bats, coyotes, foxes, skunks, and raccoons.

We have a 3-year rabies option that is available to any adult dog receiving a rabies booster.
