Vaccination of pets is therefore your first line of defense. Pet ferrets should also be vaccinated. Due to the continued rabies activity, cats are currently prohibited from running at large by Order of the Board of Health. Dogs are prohibited from running at large at all times. All animal bites or injuries must be reported to the Township Health Department.
Pets inflicting a wound are subject to quarantine and examination by a Veterinarian.
Wild animals must be captured and tested. Call the Police Department immediately if you are bitten or injured by a wild animal. High-risk animals are raccoons, foxes, skunks and bats. Low risk animals are rabbits, and rodents such as squirrels, mice and rats. Consult your physician immediately following any wound inflicted by an animal.
