Rabies is not usually contracted from a dog lick, but it can be contracted if a dog infected with the rabies virus licks a wound. Usually rabies is mainly caused by humans being bitten or scratched by animals infected with rabies virus. In the case that the dog is not infected with rabies virus, you will not get rabies after being licked by the dog. If the dog is infected with rabies virus, the dog will not be infected with rabies after being licked by the dog if there is no trauma to the skin. However, in the case of traumatized skin and the wound is licked by a dog infected with rabies virus, it may lead to the entry of rabies virus into the body, and rabies may be contracted. Therefore, for families with dogs, they need to bring their dogs for rabies vaccination in time. If a human is bitten, scratched or licked by a dog, he or she should also receive rabies vaccination in time. If rabies is diagnosed, medical treatment is required. It is recommended to go out as little as possible to contact stray cats, dogs and other animals, if there are skin wounds, and licked by the dog, but also need to be vaccinated in a timely manner.
