Dogs exposed to other animals have a higher chance of being exposed to numerous diseases. Therefore it is incredibly important to remain up to date with your dog’s vaccinations. Vaccines are key for keeping your dog healthy and protected. Dogs who are up to date on their vaccines have a much better chance of fighting off or completely avoiding disease or illness. A veterinarian’s office will send reminders when your pup is due for their next round of vaccines and will administer them when at your dog’s next regular checkup.
