Wow! Now that is eye opening! Look at the East Coast vs the West Coast!!!!
This shows why it is important to look up the statistics in your area and the important statistic is "canine" cases of rabies, because we have rabid bats in San Diego but there has never been an incident where a dog contracted rabies through a bat in this county so my vet informs me. I believe the map is of "all rabies cases" not just dogs.
My little 4 lb house dogs are never going to be exposed to any wild life who might rabies. Even when I take them camping they are on a leash or in their stroller.
I am afraid to say that if they did get attacked by a rabid animal they probably wouldn't live to worry about rabies or a quarantine.
