Why Vaccinations Matters

Vaccinations are a cornerstone of preventative care, protecting pets from diseases like distemper, rabies, Lyme disease, and more. They help strengthen your pet’s immune system, enabling it to fight off harmful pathogens before they can cause illness. Puppies and kittens, in particular, require a detailed vaccination schedule to build immunity and ensure they grow into healthy adults.

 

Vaccinations also play a critical role in controlling outbreaks of preventable diseases, reducing risks for all pets and humans in the community.

When to Vaccinate Your Pet
