This treatment is based on the characteristics of the injury caused by the aggressor animal, on his state of health at the time of the accident, on the possibility of their observation for ten days, on the origin and habits of the animal and on the epidemiological classification of the geographic region where the accident occurred. By means of a retrospective analysis of data from the records of rabies prophylactic treatment from Information System for Notification of Diseases (SINAN), concerning to Araçatuba - SP the conducts adopted for treatment of aggression by dogs and cats, considering the epidemiological situation of the disease. The dog was the main aggressor, causing mostly minor accidents, remission of treatment was the most adopted conduct in both period of non controlled rabies (1990-96) and controlled rabies (1997-2010), but, in the majority of cases when any treatment was adopted, this was inadequate. It was decided preferably by the full treatment with the serum and the vaccine and by the treatment with up to three doses of Fuenzalida and Palacius vaccine or up to two doses of cell culture vaccine on alternate days. In the period of controlled rabies there was a better adoption of conducts, based on technical recommendations, when compared to the period of uncontrolled rabies (p <0.0001), even with the excessive application of serum and vaccine in both periods
