Are dogs and cats the only animals that need to be vaccinated against the rabies virus?
Although not required by law, livestock (especially those that have frequent contact with humans), domestic ferrets, and wolf-dog hybrids should also be vaccinated against rabies. As with cats and dogs, the frequency of vaccination boosters depends on whether a 1-year or 3-year vaccine is administered. Q. I am scheduled to relocate to Texas from another state in the next few months. In order to comply with Texas regulations, what information do I need to prove my cats have been vaccinated against rabies? A: Each dog and cat over three months of age to be transported into Texas for any purpose must be vaccinated against rabies. A vaccination certificate showing the date of vaccination, vaccine used, and signature of the veterinarian who administered the vaccine provides proof of compliance. Q. I live in a rural area of Texas, where exposure to rabies from area wildlife is a constant possibility. I’m nervous about giving my dogs and my cat the rabies vaccine only once every three years.
