Rabies is rare but serious. It is also preventable. Here is what every Tennessee homeowner should know.

Which animals carry it

Raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes are the main carriers. Squirrels, rabbits and rodents almost never carry rabies.

Signs of a sick animal

An animal that is out in daylight and acting strangely, unusually bold or confused, can be sick. Do not approach. Call animal control or us.

Protect your family

Keep pets vaccinated, never feed or handle wildlife and keep trash secure. If you or a pet may have been bitten or scratched, call your doctor or veterinarian right away.
