Rabies Vaccine and Nail Trimming @ Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

On Saturday 14 December 2019 Candice, the owner of Sharklife and the State vet sponsored a free Rabies vaccine and trimming event. For those of you who do not know this yet, Rabies is a real threat to society all around the world and for South Africa one of the most plagued provinces is Kwa-Zulu Natal. Not only is Kwa-Zulu Natal the largest Province in South Africa it is also one of the most rural Provinces. Meaning lots of uncontrolled wild animals and domestic animals that will come in contact with wild animals most probably at least once in their lives, which means if your lucky the animal won’t have rabies, unlucky they bite your pet and they end up with Rabies. Candice and the state vet have teamed up to help fight the battle of the ever growing threat of your pet getting  rabies by encouraging pet owners to get their pets vaccinated and prevent this terrible and deadly disease from spreading. Unfortunately the vaccine only lasts 1 year. So it is important to keep your pet up to date every year on this vaccine and save more lives. Candice volunteered to give Sodwana Bay locals their pets a free vaccine and for those who needed it a free toe nail cut as well. Just wanna give a special thanks to Candice for giving up her Saturday and Volunteering to keep our pets safe and Rabies free for another year. Next time you visit Sodwana Bay, check out the Shark Museum, they have real cool and interesting things to see and learn about and don’t forget to keep up to date with your Rabies shots.
