Background: Rabies is a viral zoonosis. Rabies is virtually 100% fatal once symptoms appear. is preventable with appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis. Objectives: This study aimed to study the socio-demographic profile of the study participants, domiciliary practices and health seeking behaviour among dog bite cases. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study involving 141 participants (complete enumeration sampling method) in a Rural health Training Centre attached to a teaching institute using pretested, semi-structured questionnaire. Results: Out of 141 cases, Majority were males (%). Approximately 35% were in the age group of 26-45years, 5.6% were <5 years. 51% were employed. Mostly by stray dogs (61.7%), Category II bite approximately 54%, lower limb site (62.2%) seen commonly. 44 % study participants used domiciliary practices followed after dog bite (Taken first aid at home like application of antiseptic, washing with soap and water, home remedy, herbal remedy). Only 29% study participants reported to health care facility within ½ an hour. Majority of them approached directly to RHTC after dog bite incident. Conclusion: It was observed that a majority study participants approached healthcare facility (RHTC) for vaccination following dog bite, but did not practice proper wound care. A sizable proportion of study participants resorted to wrong non-allopathic practices e.g., application of garlic pastes, lime, mud etc. A rabies is preventable disease, increasing awareness relating to its prevention may prove to be beneficial in increasing the morbidity and mortality
