DOG/CAT BITES

If you are bitten by a dog or cat and it breaks the skin, report it to Animal Control. If the bite occurs after hours, please call the Police Department.

*Please have an accurate description of the animal that bit you and it's location to enable an Animal Control Officer to take necessary action.

RABIES QUARANTINE:

An animal that has bitten a person is required to be quarantined for ten days from the date of the bite.  This quarantine is required even if the animal has a current rabies vaccination.  Missoula Animal Control officers will determine if the animal will be quarantined at the shelter, a local vet, or at the animal's home.  The pet owner is responsible for paying any fees that occur during quarantine at the shelter.
