The Importance Of Vaccinations
Our vets believe that getting your dog vaccinated is an essential part of your pet's annual preventive health care. By having your dog vaccinated early in life and regularly throughout their lifetime, you help to provide your pet with the best chance of living a long, healthy life.
Vaccines can protect your dog against a number of serious, often fatal diseases like rabies, hepatitis, and parvovirus. When it comes to taking care of your dog, prevention is always better than treatment.
