Some good news for dog owners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting that the canine rabies virus has been controlled:
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal health experts declared a small victory against a fatal and untreatable virus on Friday, saying canine rabies has disappeared from the United States.
…”We don’t want to misconstrue that rabies has been eliminated — dog rabies virus has been,” CDC rabies expert Dr. Charles Rupprecht told Reuters in a telephone interview.”

While this is really good news, a reminder that your canine friend needs an annual visit with the veterinarian. It allows the veterinarian to maintain the health care routine for the dog - and it also lets the dog become reacquainted with the veterinarian. It is easier for all concerned, when the dog does need to see the veterinarian for a health issue, that your pet knows that it is in familiar hands.
