Chicago, Illinois: Village West Veterinary announces they are urging pet owners throughout the area to make sure their cats, dogs, and ferrets are vaccinated against rabies. In the last few weeks, there have been two cats in Illinois and Missouri that were diagnosed with rabies.
Many dogs and cats spend time outdoors, which puts them at risk of rabies exposure from infected wild animals. Rabies vaccines have been vastly proven to prevent the spread of this disease, but it is critical for pet owners to ensure their pets are up-to-date on this vaccination, along with all of their other shots. This will help protect local pets from contracting the rabies virus if they do come into contact with a wild animal that is already infected.
Village West Veterinary strives to provide the highest quality care for their animal patients. They also work hard to educate pet owners on the importance of maintaining a regular checkup schedule so animals can get routine tests to identify problems early and receive the vaccinations they need to ensure continued health.
