Why does my dog need to be revaccinated? Vaccinations play a critical role in responsible pet care.
Anna’s Angels dogs are vaccinated, but it’s important to remember that immunity from vaccines isn’t permanent. Depending on the vaccine type and a dog’s vaccination history, immunity can last a year or longer, but it naturally declines over time, and the rate of decline varies between individual dogs. That’s why booster vaccinations are essential. Your vet can help you develop a plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs.
While vaccines are highly effective, it is important to remember that they are not 100% effective at preventing illness. Regular veterinary checkups and following your vet’s recommendations for vaccinations and ongoing care are essential to keeping your pet healthy and protected!
Prioritizing your pet's healthcare helps ensure they live a happy, healthy life by your side!
