Just like humans, pets are vulnerable to a large number of illnesses, some of them severe. To protect them, researchers over the years have developed pet vaccines. These defend against some of the most common and serious illnesses your dog or cat may encounter, and are an essential part of responsible pet care.

Keep Your Pet Healthy

Some of the illnesses which can affect an unvaccinated animal are hepatitis, leptospirosis, and canine influenza—potentially serious conditions which sometimes result in death. Even if your pet recovers fully, the course of illness is never pleasant for you or them. By keeping your dog or cat up to date on pet vaccines, you can ensure they don’t get sick in the first place.

Prevent the Spread of Diseases

Not only are many dog and cat diseases contagious, but they can also spread from pets to humans and vice versa. Protecting the health of one animal is protecting the health of everyone they come in contact with, including other dogs or cats in your home, you, your family members, and any people or animals you may meet on walks, at the dog park, or at a pet boarding facility.

Lengthen Your Pet’s Life

Like any pet owner, you want to enjoy your dog or cat’s companionship for years to come. The better pet care you provide, the longer, healthier, and happier your pet’s life will be. Pet vaccines are an investment in their future, preventing some of the major causes of death and reducing the strain of illness on their bodies throughout their lifetime.
