Arizona rabies cases are on the rise…
Protect your pet and family today!

Arizona set another state record for the number of Rabies cases in 2009.  Parts of Arizona are under quarantine again for 2010.  Foxes, bats, and skunks are the most common wildlife to become rabid.  Keep your pets vaccinated and avoid contact with wild animals.

Rabies is a viral disease that attacks the central nervous system and is usually spread through bites from infected animals.  It is always fatal in humans once symptoms appear, but rapid treatment after exposure prevents death.  There is no treatment for unvaccinated pets.  ADHS Vector-Borne & Zoonotic Disease Section at (602) 364-4562 or visit cdc.gov/rabies or WorldRabiesDay.org.
