No, not all dog saliva contains the rabies virus. Rabies is a viral disease that is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected animal. Only dogs that are infected with the rabies virus can transmit it through their saliva. Most dogs are vaccinated against rabies, so the majority do not carry the virus.
