Author: Pet Life Radio January 11, 2020 Duration: 31:12
Did you realize that by merely vaccinating your dog or cat you could save the lives of over 55,000 impoverished people, the majority of them being children on an annual basis? That is one person every ten minutes. These deaths come from a wholly preventable disease-canine rabies. Rabies is a viral disease that has been virtually eradicated from our domesticated pets in the United States because of a robust vaccination program but still ravages people, pets and wildlife in many areas globally.

My guest is Dr. Robert Duquette, an Associate Director of Veterinary Professional Services for Merck Animal Health. We are going to discuss how a routine rabies vaccine for your pet can be the lifesaving shot that is felt around the world.
