    Rabies virus is mainly transmitted through the saliva of infected dogs. Although rabies virus can exist in dog's body fluids, usually only dog's saliva will have enough virus to infect people and other animals.


    According to current scientific research, dog's urine does not contain enough rabies virus, so dog's urine is generally not a way of spreading rabies. However, if you are worried about yourself or your family being soiled by dog urine, it is recommended to clean it in time and pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene habits.


    It should be noted that rabies is a very serious disease. If a dog has rabies, its body fluids such as saliva, blood and tissues may be contaminated with the virus. Therefore, if you are bitten by a dog or exposed to an environment where rabies may be infected, please seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive necessary treatment and preventive measures.
