> Set out the handouts from dvm360.com/rabiestools in the reception area and exam rooms.

> Give a handout to pet owners with each invoice.

> Feature the “End Rabies Together” theme on your bulletin board using handouts, the World Rabies Day logo and testimonials from people who've been affected by rabies.

Step 2: Celebrate

To encourage pet owners to participate, consider these tips: 

> Post articles about rabies throughout the world on your practice's web page and Facebook page or in other social media channels. 

> Use your hospital's website and social media to share pictures of your team and clients with their pets. 

> Ask pet owners to share any personal experience or their views on rabies and how they actively prevent it.

> Host a rabies vaccination clinic, where pet owners can take advantage of protecting their pets at a lower cost.
