For the next five years, the theme is “Rabies-free na pusa’t aso, kaligtasan ng pamilyang Pilipino” (2022-2027). As a result, the campaign focuses on teaching pet owners about the importance of having their dogs and cats registered and vaccinated; as well as, controlling the dog population, improving the health and welfare of both owned and stray dogs, reducing the number of stray dogs to a manageable level, and promote responsible pet ownership. Rabies is a human infection caused by a transdermal bite or scratch from an infected animal, such as dogs or cats. Rabies is a commonly misunderstood disease that is 100 percent lethal but 100 percent avoidable. Although it is not one of the top causes of death and morbidity in the country, it is regarded as a significant public health issue because it is one of the most quickly lethal infections.
