Rabies is generally transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. Other routes of infection are possible but much less common; such as infective saliva can enter through a scratch or an existing skin wound, or droplets of saliva may be inhaled. Another way a dog can get rabies is if it eats the carcass of an infected animal.
