When Quarantine Is Required

Rabies quarantine may be required in Gwinnett County in situations such as:

  • A dog involved in a bite incident, which requires a 10-day observation period regardless of vaccination status
  • Exposure to a rabid or suspected rabid animal, with protocols based on vaccination status and risk level

We coordinate directly with local authorities to help ensure your pet’s care meets county and state requirements while making the process as smooth as possible for you.

Throughout the quarantine period, your pet is monitored daily for any changes in behavior, neurologic status, appetite, hydration, and overall comfort. If concerns arise, our team responds promptly and coordinates as needed.
