Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?

Various types of vaccines defend pets against harmful infections. Core vaccines, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus for dogs, and panleukopenia for cats, are necessary for each pet to live happy, healthy lives. Additional vaccines, like those for Bordetella and leptospirosis, offer extra defense based on your lifestyle and exposure risks. Proper vaccinations keep pets thriving, minimizing health risks and supporting a happier, healthier life for your furry friend.
