Are you travelling with your pet to the US this summer? Remember that legally you are obliged to have a current rabies vaccination status for your pet. If official status has lapsed, the booster is meant to be given 30 days prior to travel to the US. This helps protect your pet against the rabies virus, should it come into contact with any infected animals, and also ensures your pet isn’t going to transfer rabies to other animals or humans. Depending on where you travel, you should also think about the risk of disease from ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes, as they are more common in many US locations than they are here.
