Did you know?
Animal rabies vaccines may only be administered by a licensed veterinarian, or by their staff under their direct supervision. Vets and clinic staff should encourage clients to maintain current rabies vaccinations for their pets, horses and livestock to help prevent the spread of this deadly virus.
Veterinarians administering the vaccine must sign a rabies vaccination certificate for each dog, cat or ferret vaccinated. The certificate must include the following details:
- Name, address, and telephone number of the owner.
- Pet’s name, breed, size, sex, age, species and color.
- Vaccine name, manufacturer, serial number, expiration date, and duration of immunity.
- Rabies tag number.
- Date the vaccine was administered.
- Name, address, and license number of the veterinarian who administered or supervised the administration of the vaccine.
- Due date of the next rabies vaccination.
