Rabies is an animal-borne disease posing a significant risk to pet owners. Due to pet owners' inadequate understanding of disease types and treatment options, coupled with the financial burden of frequent veterinary visits, the developed expert system aims to assist pet owners in diagnosing diseases afflicting Persian cats, specifically Rabies, Renal Failure, Panleukopenia, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, and Feline Calici Virus. This study seeks to evaluate the application of an expert system forward chaining approach to diagnose rabies in pets. The research approach used was a literature review that utilized books and previous research publications as data sources. The results of the study show that using the forward chaining method in an expert system for pet disease diagnosis is highly effective for identifying rabies and significantly improves the understanding and treatment of pet diseases through an information technology framework.
