To protect the health and safety of Saskatchewan people and domestic animals, a provincial rabies response program has been developed.
Private veterinarians across the province will collect samples from suspect animals and submit these for rabies testing under the direction from the program's Rabies Risk Assessment Veterinarian (RRAV). In the case of human exposures, the RRAV works closely with local public health to ensure that test results are reported back promptly and to coordinate any response and follow-up activities necessary in the event of a positive rabies test result.
