PREVENTION is still better than cure

      1. The promotion of responsible pet ownership to dog owners:
*Parenteral rabies vaccination of owned dogs.
*Sterilization of pet dogs.
*Unwanted dogs should not be abandoned.

2.   Animal birth control - attempts should be made to sterilize the stray dog population or other methods of birth control should be investigated.

3. Suitable infrastructure for garbage disposal - to prevent the accumulation of waste in and around residential areas. This attracts stray and ownerless dog packs to these areas.

4. Vaccination - Sufficient and affordable cell culture vaccine should be available for post exposure treatment.

5.      Mass oral vaccination of the stray dog population.
