August is National Immunization Awareness Month! Just like us, it’s important for our pets to stay on top of their vaccines and immunizations.
Giving your pets their regular vaccinations is the key to a long and healthy life. Regardless of whether you keep your dog inside or not, vaccines are essential in ensuring your pet’s health.
Many contagious diseases can be airborne, meaning your pet could contract a disease through an open window. Pets are also prone to slipping out of the house on occasion, which could lead to risk of disease.
Additionally, places you may frequently visit such as boarding kennels, dog parks and grooming salons are high-risk environments.
Making sure your pet is vaccinated before visiting such places can give you peace of mind. Remember that vaccinations can take a few days to a few weeks before becoming effective – check with your vet before taking your recently vaccinated pet to any of these places!
