What Are Pet Vaccinations, and Why Are They Important?

Vaccines are a safe, effective way to prepare your pet’s immune system to fight off life-threatening illnesses. Core vaccines protect against common diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, while lifestyle vaccines add an extra layer of protection for pets who board, travel, or socialize.

According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), pets that stay current on vaccinations live longer, healthier lives with lower risks of severe illness. By vaccinating your pet and staying on top of their vaccine schedule, you can keep them safe for life against diseases that often prove fatal.
