Sobangan Village, area of ??the Mengwi I Public Health Center, has been identified as a high-risk area due to its largest dog population and the second-highest bite incidence in the region. Lack of understanding regarding the initial treatment of bite wounds and vaccination are major risks factor for fatalities. Aim: This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of the Sobangan Village community regarding the prevention and initial treatment of Animal Bites. Method: The implementation method included interactive counseling and focused discussions involving 18 village cadre representatives and PKK members, evaluated using pre-tests and post-tests.

The most increase understanding occurred in identifying the characteristics of rabid dogs (from 55.6% to 94.4%) and the urgency of post-exposure vaccination (from 72.2% to 100%). Conclusion: Community-based health education has been shown to be effective in improving cognitive competence as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of death from rabies in endemic areas.
