Ensuring your dog or puppy is vaccinated is crucial in maintaining their health. Vets in Cranbourne offer vaccination programs to protect your adult dog or puppy from severe and potentially fatal diseases.
Why Should You Vaccinate Your Dog?
Dogs, particularly puppies, are vulnerable to various infectious diseases, making preventative vaccination essential for their health. Even if your pet doesn’t interact with other dogs directly, they can still be exposed to harmful viruses and bacteria that infected dogs leave on surfaces such as footpaths, grassy areas, and water sources. Therefore, taking your puppy for a walk in areas where other dogs frequent can put them at risk. Vaccinations protect your pooch from these diseases and prevent their spread.
