Why are vaccinations needed for my pet?

The Obvious reasons are:

• To protect our pets from nasty, life threatening diseases such as Rabies and Parvo virus
• Create or boost our pets immunity to certain diseases
• Prevent pets from passing on a disease such as Leptospirosis, which can be passed from animals to people

Sadly, if your pet catches a disease,because of having no vaccines, it is a tormenting ordeal for the whole family, mostly affecting the kids. Please also note that even if a pet recovers from the disease, he/she will often be left with long-term problems which can put them through a lot of pain and distress and accumulate your vet bills!

On the other-hand if you think you are going on a family vacation and are in the process of booking your pet into a kennel, make sure you do your pets kennel cough well in advance. Reputed boarding kennels will usually ask you for proof that your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date including kennel cough. If your kennel doesn’t consider kennel cough vaccine important, just look for another kennel.
