What is this? Fake rabies vaccination stickers are being sold for pets. These stickers look real but are not.

What's happening? Germany found these fake stickers coming from Russia. They may be used on pets to pretend they got a real rabies shot.

Does this affect me? If you have a pet that traveled from Russia, check its rabies papers. Others may be at risk too.

What should I do? Ask your vet or doctor if your pet’s rabies shot is real. Do not guess—always check with a professional.
