Rabies Vaccination and License Tag Laws
Broward County law requires all cats and dogs four months and older to have yearly rabies vaccinations and wear county animal license tags on their collars.
Rabies Warning
Rabies is a serious, infectious, viral disease that attacks the nervous system of warm-blooded animals including humans. Unless your pet is protected by a rabies vaccine, rabies is almost always fatal.
Broward County has reported 30 cases of rabies since the outbreak began in July 2000.
In Palm Beach County, there have been four cases of rabies in 2005, seven cases in 2004, and a record 39 cases in 2003.
