Keeping rules

Rabies: Dogs and cats 6 months or older must be vaccinated against rabies (T.C.A. 68-8-103); state rules advise vaccinating dogs from 3 months (Tenn. Comp. R. and Regs. 1200-14-01-.33). Revaccination follows the national rabies compendium. Cats may be given a tag but need not wear one (68-8-106).[1]

Laws change: this is general information, not legal advice. The authority linked on each line has the final word.
