Disease prevention is probably the most obvious – and the most important – reason for dog vaccinations. There are a variety of vaccinations you can give your animal in order to decrease the chances of illness (or eliminate them altogether.) It’s especially important that you begin the vaccination cycle when your dogs are very young. The vaccination cycle works to build up an immunity over time to certain diseases. These vaccinations encourage your pet’s immune system to create additional antibodies, which will fight off anything that carries the disease. Vaccines aren’t always cheap, but trust us when we tell you that they cost a fraction of the costs of the medication, treatment, and vet bills associated with identifying and curing serious illness and disease. Dog vaccinations can also protect you and your family against illnesses, germs, and even diseases that are often carried by pets. This can even include serious diseases like Rabies and Leptospirosis. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, dog vaccinations have saved millions of animal lives over the years.
