Puppies and Vaccinations
In today's world, there is a growing concern about the number of vaccines puppies receive. Are we over-vaccinating? Do puppies really need so many vaccines? These are some of the questions I will explore in my upcoming blogs.
Some vaccines are considered necessary (core), while others are optional (non-core). The decision to administer core vaccines is vital and depends on your lifestyle, geographic location, and the likelihood of certain outbreaks in your area.
Let's dive into Vaccines:
1. Distemper - a contagious and viral disease that affects the respiratory, neurological, and gastrointestinal systems.
2. Adenovirus - provides protection against canine hepatitis, a disease that used to be fatal.
3. Parvovirus - a highly contagious viral disease commonly seen in puppies and young dogs, but can also affect older dogs.
4. Rabies - a viral infection that affects the nervous system.
5. Bordetella - a respiratory disease known as kennel cough.
6. Canine Influenza - a respiratory disease that can affect all dogs.
7. Lyme - caused by a bacteria transmitted by ticks.
8. Leptospirosis - a bacterial disease that can affect dogs and people.
This is just an over view, There are many other things to consider so please stay tuned for my 5 part blog about vaccines.
May your have Luv-N-Laughter throughout your Lives!!
