Vaccines Up Close, Part One – Dogs

We keep repeating how important every vaccine is, how it must not be skipped and how it is the barrier between life and death for puppies.

P – parvovirus: a potentially fatal disease in puppies.

D – distemper: also a fatal disease.

H – canine hepatitis: another serious infectious disease.

Pi – parainfluenza is a contagious respiratory virus.

L – leptospirosis: caused by bacteria in contaminated bodies of water. LEPTOSPIROSIS IS A ZOONOSIS!

R – rabies. Rabies is a severe, fatal disease. THE DISEASE IS A ZOONOSIS!

That covers the core vaccines every well-cared-for dog should receive.
