: Each week, the veterinary department in Raanana sends an update report regarding the situation of the city's animals and their inoculations to the National Dog Registry Center.
The Raanana Veterinary Department is responsible for the prevention and treatment of rabies in animals for both the Kfar Saba and Raanana municipalities. It works to provide the most efficient service to the residents. Commencing from June 2007, all the inoculations and identification information regarding the animals of Kfar Saba and Raanana will be transferred to the National Dog Registry Center in Beit Dagan. Each week, an update report of the status of the city's animals and their inoculations will be sent to the center.
The website address of the center is: www.moag.gov.il/vtr/dogcenter and the center will be able to locate the city of the dog's owners, the address of the various veterinary departments and the details regarding the authorized warehouses in Israel, thorough a chip implemented in the dog.
Moreover, during the past two years, the veterinary department has performed sterilizations and castrations of street cats, in order to reduce their natural reproduction. To date, 3,000 Raanana street cats have been castrated. The project is still in progress and also includes the inoculation of the sterilized cats against rabies.
The joint activity of the Raanana Municipality and the Raanana Cats Association has enabled a significant decrease in the nuisances that are characteristic to the large number of cats in the city.
Each year, the municipal veterinary department conducts and supervises 6,000 inoculations against rabies for cats and dogs. At the department's dog pound in Kfar Nachman, there are a wide variety of dogs: stray dogs waiting for their owners, dogs waiting to be adopted and dogs in rabies quarantine after having bitten a victim.
