3QUARANTINE GUIDELINES AND INFORMATION
If your animal has been quarantined at a shelter or local veterinarian, the required date to
pick up the pet is___________________________________. If you do not reclaim your pet
from (or make arrangements with) the quarantining agency by the end of the business day of the
date entered above, and pay appropriate fees at the time of reclaim, the animal will become the
property of the agency at that time. The disposition of the animal may be determined at that time
by the quarantining agency.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A HOME QUARANTINE
(Location of quarantine is at the discretion of the quarantining agency.)
1. Facility used for confinement shall ensure an escape-proof environment subject to
unannounced periodic spot checks by the animal control officer or local health officer. The
animal shall be confined inside a structure, not on a chain or in a fenced yard. Diagrams for
the construction of cat and dog isolation cages are available if such is recommended by the
animal control officer or local health officer.
2. The animal shall not leave the quarantine premises for any reason. The animal shall not have
contact with humans or other animals for the 10-day period, with the exception of the
primary caretaker.
3. At the first sign of illness in the animal, the owner shall notify the quarantining agency.
Symptoms to watch for include fever, loss of appetite, excessive irritability, unusual
vocalization, change in behavior, restlessness, jumping at noises, trouble walking, excessive
salivation, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, stupors, or unprovoked aggression.
4. At the end of the 10-day quarantine period, the owner is responsible for contacting the
quarantining agency to report the health status of the animal.
5. If these guidelines cannot be met or are violated at any time during the quarantine, the animal
will be seized and the 10-day quarantine will be completed at the department of animal
control shelter or a facility designated by the local health officer.
6. When a pet has been exposed to rabies and it is not vaccinated, euthanasia is
recommended. Alternatively, the owner has the option of arranging for a six-month
quarantine at the owner’s expense. This is due to the special public health risks
associated with these animals (i.e., those potentially incubating rabies) and the need to
prevent human and other animal exposures from occurring should rabies symptoms
develop.
MEDICAL INFORMATION FOR VICTIMS AND PET OWNERS
Questions regarding medical treatment and advice should be directed to your family physician.
Concerns regarding tetanus toxoid and/or rabies prophylaxis may be addressed by your physician
or the local health officer. If your pet has been injured by another animal, contact your
veterinarian for appropriate treatment.
