Tips to avoid rabies

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommends these precautions to prevent possible exposure to rabies:

  •  Do not feed wild animals, which could reduce their natural fear of humans.
  •  Teach children to stay away from wild or dead animals.
  •  Do not allow pets to roam freely, as this increases the chance they may be exposed without your knowledge.
  •  Keep your pet’s rabies vaccination current, and maintain vaccination records.
  •  Contact your veterinarian if your dog or cat is bitten or scratched by a wild animal.
  •  If a family member or pet has been bitten or scratched by a wild animal, if possible, safely contain the wild animal in case rabies testing is needed.
  •  People with possible rabies exposure should consult with a physician without delay.
