We are aware of recent news reports regarding a dog in the Chicago area that tested positive for rabies and had attended a dog daycare facility. While reports have not identified the specific location, we understand that this news may raise concerns for pet parents, and we want to address this transparently and responsibly.
At Pet Care Plus, the health and safety of the pets entrusted to us is always our top priority. We take infectious disease prevention seriously and follow strict health and safety protocols designed to protect pets, staff, and families.
Here is what pet parents should know:
- Rabies transmission in dogs is extremely rare, especially in environments that require routine vaccinations
- All dogs attending our daycare and boarding services must be current on their rabies vaccination
- We maintain strict cleaning, sanitation, and monitoring procedures within our facility
- Our team is trained to observe pets daily for any signs of illness or abnormal behavior
We want to reassure our community that this situation has been confirmed as unrelated to Pet Care Plus, and our clients and pets were not impacted.
That said, we are staying informed and in close alignment with local guidelines. If we were ever made aware of a potential risk, affected clients would be notified directly and immediately.
If you have questions, concerns, or would like to discuss your pet’s care, we encourage you to reach out to our team. We are always happy to talk through our protocols and provide peace of mind.
Thank you for trusting us with your pets. Your confidence means everything to us.
