Rabies Information & Links

Rabies is a preventable deadly disease of mammals.  Vaccination and registration is the #1 way to prevent the spread of rabies.  One of our missions at Animal Care & Control is to prevent the spread of the virus through bite investigations and required rabies vaccination registration.  All dogs and cats in DuPage County are required by law to be currently vaccinated against rabies.  There are many valuable resources through the IL Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), some of which are posted below.

When Animals Bite

As a Veterinarian, clients may come to you/your practice for the mandatory rabies observation period.  Included below are the guidelines per Code of DuPage County, Chapter 5, Animals, along with sample notices sent out to pet owners, and a confinement quick reference guide from DuPage County Health Department (DCHD).
