Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your companion from many infectious, and sometimes fatal, diseases. Keeping up with a regular vaccination schedule matters greatly for both individual and public health.
Why Is the Vaccination Process Different for Puppies and Kittens?
After birth, puppies and kittens are protected for a while by the immunity they receive from their mother’s milk, but this protection gradually decreases. For this reason, puppy/kitten vaccines are usually given as a series repeated at specific intervals. Completing the full vaccine series is important for immunity to be lasting and reliable.
Vaccination Tracking in Adult Animals
Adult pets also need regular booster vaccines to maintain their immunity. Which vaccines need to be repeated, and how often, can vary depending on the animal’s age, lifestyle (for example, whether it goes outdoors), and general health condition.
What Should I Watch For After Vaccination?
Temporary symptoms such as mild lethargy or reduced appetite may occur after vaccination. However, in cases of swelling, persistent vomiting, or difficulty breathing, it’s important to contact your veterinarian without delay.
