Colorado uses this 3-page report from its Zoonoses and One Health program to follow up human animal bites and exposures for rabies. It records the animal (domestic or wild), its status and rabies vaccination, the exposure date, place and circumstances, the animal control office, the victim, the owner, the treating physician, and whether rabies PEP was recommended or started.
The health care provider treating the exposed person, or another reporter, completes all three pages; required fields are starred.

Animal bite or exposure report form
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

No. CDPHE states that faxing the animal bite or exposure report form is currently the only method available to providers for reporting animal bites. On a weekend or holiday, call the local public health agency instead.
Yes. The treatment section asks whether the local health department has recommended rabies post-exposure prophylaxis and whether PEP has started. The form also records the treating physician's name, practice and phone.
The form asks whether the animal was domestic (dog, cat, livestock, wolf hybrid) or wild (bat, fox, raccoon, skunk, rodent), its status, breed, color and sex, rabies vaccination and date, and whether animal control was notified.
