Domestic cats that do not want to stick their noses out of the window are recommended to be vaccinated against dangerous viral diseases.

One of these is rabies, which is considered an incurable disease, which means that a timely vaccination can save the pet and the health of its owners.

Should domestic cats be vaccinated?

Before deciding to refuse, you need to find out how the infection is transmitted. It has been established that a sick animal can infect a healthy one 10 days before it shows its first symptoms. In the case of a human bite, only timely vaccination can save the animal.

Now about the vaccination.

Pet owners are mistaken when they think that if their pet does not go beyond the balcony, it can remain without vaccinations.

Infection should not be ruled out. It is possible if a cat or a cat accidentally runs out into the street or rodents, which are carriers of infection, get into the house.

The pathogens can also end up in the house through dirty shoes, as the disease is also transmitted through animal feces.

Experts recommend vaccinating pets regularly, according to the recommendations of specialists.
