Now It's a new year, and you are required to protect your pet with a current rabies vaccination and a city license tag. Fort Worth residents are required by law to annually register their cats and dogs who are four months and older. Proof of current rabies vaccination is required to obtain the license. Unprotected dogs can acquire rabies when bitten by a rabid animal, such as a skunk, bat, raccoon or fox - all relatively common in urban areas.
Humans can easily contract rabies as well, and left untreated it is almost always fatal.
The State of Texas is currently under a rabies quarantine because two people have died from the disease. It is important to keep a record of your rabies vaccination with you when traveling with your pet. When traveling with your pet by car, either locally or otherwise, keep your rabies vaccination records in the glove box. Licensing your pets with the city is critical for public health reasons. Pet licensing allows staff to more accurately react to a rabies outbreak in the event one were to occur.
