Have you always wondered what each vaccine helps with? One of our amazing volunteers is a vet tech, and she took the time to explain them so that people would be able to make the best decision for their pets possible! Check us out when we help Dr. Regan with affordable vaccine clinics!
What does each vaccine help with?
Rabies:
Rabies is a viral disease that can be passed from animal to human. The State of Kansas requires all healthy dogs and cats to be vaccinated against Rabies. This can be given at 3 months of age or older, then once a year.
DAPP (Distemper group/Parvo):
Distemper is a group of viral diseases that are very contagious and difficult to treat effectively.
Parvo is a virus targeting the digestive system and is often fatal without intensive treatment. The Parvo virus can live in the soil for years after a sick pet has been in that area.
Healthy puppies should have 3-4 shots starting at 6 weeks of age, covering both distemper and Parvo, then once a year.
Leptospirosis (Lepto):
Lepto is a virus that can be passed from animal to human and affects the liver and kidneys. Typically, dogs are exposed to areas where sick wildlife has been. Healthy puppies should have 2 shots starting at 3 months of age, then yearly.
Bordetella (Kennel Cough):
Bordetella is a respiratory virus that is very contagious. This vaccine should be given if you kennel your dog to go out of town, take it to a groomer, doggy daycare, or dog park, adventures, or even camping. Healthy puppies need 2 shots starting at 2 months of age, then yearly.
