#Vaccinate Your Pet! Yearly vaccines save pets’ lives. They are a simple, yet powerful tool that shield our pets from a range of preventable diseases. They are designed to save pets from unnecessary suffering and us from needless worry and expensive vet bills.
What diseases do we vaccinate against?

Dogs

– Canine Parvovirus: A highly contagious virus causing severe gastrointestinal symptoms that, even with treatment, can be fatal for many puppies and dogs.

– Canine Distemper: A viral disease affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems that, even with treatment, can be fatal for many puppies and dogs.

– Infectious Canine Hepatitis: Caused by the canine adenovirus, it primarily affects the liver that, even with treatment, can be fatal for many puppies and dogs.

– Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection spread through contact with infected urine, leading to liver and kidney damage that, even with treatment, can be fatal for many puppies and dogs.

– Kennel Cough (Bordetella bronchiseptica): A contagious respiratory disease commonly spread in environments with high dog populations, such as boarding kennels and dog parks.

Cats

– Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper): A highly contagious viral disease causing severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

– Feline Calicivirus and Herpesvirus: Two common causes of respiratory infections in cats.
