Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some dogs and cats brought from Russia had fake rabies vaccine labels. This means they may not be protected against rabies.

What's happening? Germany found pets with false rabies vaccination papers. These animals could carry rabies without showing signs.

Does this affect me? If you recently got a dog or cat from Russia, it might be affected. Check its papers carefully.

What should I do? Ask your vet or doctor if your pet needs a new rabies vaccine. Do not wait—rabies is serious.
