Why is it important to get your pets vaccinated? Find out why.
There are plenty of reasons and they go beyond your pet's health- Your pet will be protected from numerous disease threats, including rabies, distemper, hepatitis and several others.
- Some of these disease can be transmitted to humans, thus vaccinating your pets can help keep your humans safe too.
- When a healthy puppy is born through their mother's milk, the puppy gains some immunity from those viruses her mother is protected against. In the first 5 to 6 weeks of life, the mother's antibodies are sufficient to keep the puppy immune from most common viruses. At about 5 to 6 weeks, this immunity begins to wane. This is why you need to vaccinate them at this age.
