Protect Your Pet: The Importance of Vaccinations

Vaccinating your pet is a crucial step in ensuring a long and healthy life. By building immunity against various infectious diseases, vaccinations can prevent serious illnesses, reduce the risk of complications, and safeguard your furry companion from potential dangers.

Core Vaccinations for Dogs

• Distemper: A highly contagious viral disease that can cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological symptoms.
• Parvovirus: A severe viral disease that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract, leading to severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
• Para influenza: A respiratory disease that causes coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.
• Infectious Hepatitis: A viral disease that affects the liver, causing jaundice, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
• Leptospira: A bacterial disease transmitted through contaminated water and soil, leading to kidney damage and liver failure.
• Rabies: A fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system, transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.

Core Vaccinations for Cats

• Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper): A highly contagious viral disease that can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased white blood cell count.
• Calicivirus: A viral infection that affects the respiratory tract and oral cavity, causing oral ulcers, respiratory illness, and fever.
• Herpesvirus: A viral disease that can cause respiratory infections, eye infections (conjunctivitis), and oral ulcers.
• Rabies: A fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system, transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.

Additional Vaccinations

Depending on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors, your veterinarian may recommend additional vaccinations, such as:

• Bordetella (Kennel Cough): A highly contagious respiratory disease that is commonly spread in boarding kennels and dog parks.
• Lyme Disease: A bacterial disease transmitted by ticks, causing joint pain, fever, and kidney problems.
• Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): A viral disease that weakens the immune system and can lead to various health problems, including cancer.

Vaccination Schedule

The vaccination schedule for your pet will vary based on their age, lifestyle, and overall health. Your veterinarian will develop a personalized vaccination plan to ensure optimal protection. Typically, puppies and kittens receive a series of vaccinations at specific intervals, followed by booster shots to maintain immunity.
