Rabies Policy As of January 1st, 2017, Advanced Veterinary Care Center will require all patients to be up to date on Rabies vaccination. We are doing this for the safety of our patients, clients, and staff. The rabies vaccination is very effective and very safe. Although any individual pet’s risk of contracting rabies may be low, the consequences of either contracting rabies or biting a person if not vaccinated are devastating. As you may remember, WY had it’s first documented human fatality in 2015. Each year, rabid bats are found in Park County. Our area is able to support the skunk strain of rabies as well. People are often unaware that they have been bitten by a bat, and exposure of a domestic animal to a rabid bat can be impossible to detect. Many people feel that indoor cats do not need to be vaccinated. However, bats do get into houses and cats do get out. Indoor cats are not immune to exposure, nor to the regulations regarding vaccination. For more information regarding rabies in our city and state, please visit the following websites. If, after reading through the materials listed above, you wish to speak with a doctor, please call to schedule a time so that a doctor can address any concerns. Pets who are not current will be updated at the earliest availability. If a pet is too ill to be vaccinated we will wait to update that pet until the illness has resolved. Exemptions will be given to animals with specific, documented medical conditions at the doctor’s discretion. If you wish to keep your pet unvaccinated, we will provide you a copy of your records so that you may seek out a new veterinarian.
