Credenda, I hope people pay attention to those last two lines of yours. I make an exception for post-exposure rabies immune globulin and rabies vaccine in humans, and as you say, at least one dose for dogs, and after that for at least the use of titers for dogs (certainly where I am, in a rural area where one of our dogs was attacked by a rabid raccoon a few months ago, before my husband killed it (it tested positive). It's just by chance that we were in the pasture and witnessed it.
