If you would like to learn more, we have the answers. Here are some reasons why pet vaccinations are so important:
Pet Vaccination Laws
This is usually the most motivating factor for all pet owners. In the state of Washington, all dogs, cats, and ferrets must have up-to-date rabies vaccines. Rabies is fatal to pets and humans alike and is the most important disease to vaccinate your pet against. Your pet will receive their first rabies vaccine sometime in their first four months of life. Booster shots will be administered either every year or every three years, depending on the pet.
Vaccination Saves Lives
Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet to help determine what type of vaccination cycle your pet needs to reduce or eliminate their chances of coming down with a deadly disease. The factors to be evaluated include lifestyle risks, the breed of your pet, the age of your pet, and your pet’s medical history. A simple vaccination can effectively eliminate your pet’s chance of coming down with debilitating diseases, providing peace of mind to you and your family.
Pet Safety for Others
Pet owners that avoid vaccination do not just put their pets at risk—they also put all other pets in the area at risk. Diseases are easily spread between pets, and even a few unvaccinated pets in an area can facilitate the spread of disease. If everyone vaccinated their pets, this risk could be eliminated.
Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness
If you have had a pet long enough, you know that they can be expensive in multiple ways. Veterinarian visits can add up, becoming a major expense. Pet vaccinations can eliminate unnecessary and expensive trips to the veterinarian.
