Rabies is a serious concern in PA. In PA, Rabies vaccines are required, by law, for dogs at 12-16 weeks of age. Cats that are inside or inside/outside also require the vaccine. We STRESS that ALL CATS and DOGS must be vaccinated against Rabies for everyone's protection! PA has been the #1/#2 hotspot in the US for many years. Not only could you die from getting bit by your rabid pet or barn cat, but if your unvaccinated pet bites someone else, they can request that the animal be euthanized to check for rabies. It is better to be safe than sorry and get those dogs and cats vaccinated!! Many ask, "Why do I need to vaccinate my house cats, they do not come in contact with rabid animals?" Well, cases of rabid bats in the house happen quite frequently and we all know cats love to play with flying creatures!!
