Rabies prevention is not only about protecting dogs and cats. It is also about protecting the people who handle, treat, groom, restrain, and care for them every day.
That is why Team AVCI and Team FuRRs continue to take rabies protection seriously. Our staff undergo rabies pre-exposure vaccination, with annual boosters coordinated by our own Dr. Alice Aycardo, as part of responsible veterinary and grooming practice.
Why does this matter?
Veterinary and grooming teams regularly come into close contact with animals—sometimes including frightened, painful, newly rescued, or unvaccinated pets. Even the gentlest dog or cat can bite or scratch when stressed. Pre-exposure vaccination adds an important layer of protection for people whose work places them at higher risk.
For pet parents, there is an equally important lesson here: your pet’s rabies vaccination protects more than your pet.
Keeping dogs and cats updated with their rabies vaccination helps protect:
- your family,
- veterinary and grooming staff,
- other pets,
- and the wider community.
Rabies remains a serious and preventable disease, and prevention works best when everyone does their part.
So if your pet’s rabies vaccination is due—or you are not sure when the last one was given—visit AVCI and let our team help you check your pet’s vaccination history and keep their protection updated.
