Did you know that rabies occurs in every South African province? The three highest-risk provinces for dog rabies include KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and Limpopo.
It is crucial that every pet owner has their dogs and cats vaccinated to protect both humans and animals against rabies.
The first rabies vaccine is given at 12 weeks (Three months) of age, followed by a booster vaccination between one and 12 months later. Thereafter, a booster is required every three years. In high-risk areas, annual vaccination is strongly advised!
Enquire with your local state veterinarian, animal health technician, private veterinarian, or welfare organisation.
