<\/a><\/p>\nWhy do you need to vaccinate your dog\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n Vaccination helps to keep your dog healthy as it protects it against serious contagious diseases. Importantly, it also prevents the spreading of these diseases to other animals and even people.<\/p>\n Vaccination doesn\u2019t always prevent a dog contracting a disease, but it reduces the severity of the disease and increases the chances of the animal\u2019s survival.<\/p>\n Types of vaccinations<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Vaccines are divided into \u2018core\u2019 vaccines, which every dog should have\u00a0; and \u2018noncore\u2019 vaccines which depends on the dog\u2019s lifestyle, concurrent diseases and geographical region, particularly when visiting a different area.<\/p>\n Core vaccines include distemper, adenovirus-2 (covering hepatitis and respiratory diseases)\u00a0; canine parvovirus-2nd<\/sup> and rabies.<\/p>\n Non Core vaccines include vaccines against kennel cough and Lyme disease. Ask your vet about the vaccines necessary for your puppy or dog\u2019s specific circumstances.<\/p>\n Which vaccination and when\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n At 6 weeks a \u00a0puppy needs a combination vaccine against diseases in the area where you live. \u00a0This vaccination needs to be repeated every 3-4weeks until 4 months old.<\/p>\n At 12 weeks (this may vary according to local law), a puppy must be vaccinated against rabies.<\/p>\n Adult dogs need core\u00a0 vaccination, which researchers recommend being alternated from year to year.<\/p>\n When you move to a new area, or take your dog with you on a trip, it may need vaccination against diseases prevalent in that area. Visit your vet before the time to make sure your pet receives the necessary vaccinations in time..<\/p>\n Every dog\u2019s circumstances is different, and regulations between states and countries differ. It\u2019s important that you speak to your vet about vaccination as soon as you take your dog home. And if you re-home a dog, make sure to get the necessary information from the previous owners.<\/p>\n Taking the necessary precaution can save you much heartache and expense\u00a0!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vaccination help to keep your dog \u00a0from contracting some serious diseases like rabies, distemper.
