Kentucky HB173 amends rabies vaccination laws for dogs, cats, and ferrets.
Kentucky HB173 amends the state's rabies vaccination laws. It mandates that every dog, cat, or ferret owner must have their pet vaccinated by a Kentucky-licensed veterinarian by the age of four months and revaccinated as needed. Qualified persons who vaccinate their own dogs must also comply with these regulations. The bill defines terms such as "dog," "cat," "ferret," "owner," "veterinarian," "qualified person," "vaccination," "quarantine," and "veterinary technician." It also requires veterinarians to issue vaccination certificates and rabies tags to pet owners.
