[|Human|] hello, My husband and 4-year old daughter were attacked last night by a dog (rottweiler) in a park in Toronto. The dog aimed for the child, but my husband protected her and got attacked as a result. His jacket was torn and dogs saliva was on it. His skin was not bitten through though. My kid was curious and touched the ripped jacket with the saliva on it. The dog seemed to be with a dog walker. My husband was too stressed out to take any info about the dog or whether or not it had been properly vaccinated from rabies. Now I am very worried if my family should receive a post-exposure rabies shots. Should they?
[|AI|]  Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern towards your beloved husband and daughter who were unfortunately attacked by a dog. There is no need for your husband and your young daughter to take post-exposure rabies shots as it seems there is no wound or bleeding or bite marks on their intact skin as his jacket only was ripped, and your daughter has just touched the ripped part of the jacket with the saliva on it which is unlikely to transmit the virus if at all present. Hope this will help.
