TOP  5 REASONS WHY YOUR PET SHOULD BE VACCINATED

Let’s understand the possible reasons why our pets need vaccination:

As pet guardians, we want our fur babies to stay healthier and live longer. Often, we are worried as dog parents that distemper or leptospirosis can affect our dogs at any time. Even a minor illness, causing your pets to vomit or suffer from dehydration, can be dangerous.

Early Detection of Health Issues

You won’t believe canine influenza spreads at a higher rate among the petswho visit creches or go to parks. The period from Puppyhood to adulthood requires more attention to health concerns to avoid infections at an early age. Also, many cat parents have less knowledge about ‘Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)’, which causes anaemia (a low red blood cell level) and even cancers. Be it sneezing, coughing or fever, pet parents should always stay alert to monitor their fur babies’ health. Thus, not vaccinating your pet at an early stage can lead to fatality.

Build Immunity

Like humans, vaccinating pets help fur babies gain more immunity with the lasting effects of antibodies.  If your cat has breathing issuesoften, you might have missed the ‘feline distemper shot’. Do you know that kittens have a weak immune system and are subject to contagious diseases? For your kitty’s health, you should start its vaccinations at 6-8 weeks of age.

On the other hand, certain vaccines provide immunity to dogs for one to three years, depending the type of vaccine used such as:

• Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)
• Canine Adenovirus type-1 (CAV-1)
• Canine Parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2)
• Leptospirosis
• BordetellaBronchiseptica (Kennel Cough)

Maintaining Community Health

Will my neighbour get rabies if my pet dog bites him? Yes.  WHO reported that dog bites and scratches can lead to 99% of human rabies cases, where dogs are the carriers of the fatal disease. Because rabies spread to humans from animals through bites or scratchesor direct contact with mucosa (e.g. eyes, mouth, or open wounds). Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually 100% fatal.

How often do dogs need a rabies vaccine?

Puppies should get vaccinated at around 12-16 weeksold with a booster after a year.Annual booster is a must to make the ‘anti-rabies shield’ in your dog stronger. Now, you can get a rabies vaccination for your dog at premium pet shops in Kolkata. Therefore, you can ensure that others in community buildings are protected from your dog as a responsible pet guardian.

Avoid costly medical treatment

Health is the biggest wealth of your paw child! Multi-day hospitalisation costs are highly expensive in India for dogs and cats in hospitals. Did you know that ‘Leptospirosis’ in dogs cause kidney failure which needs costly treatment? To avoid such expenses, vaccination not only saves your money but also increases your pet’s life. Although vaccines are an additional expense, routine vaccination of your fur babies can avoid unexpected vet bills.

Don’t worry! You’ll get the proper vaccination at an affordable rate from reliable veterinarians in the best pet store in Kolkata.

Less Transmission of Diseases

You won’t believe that zoonotic diseases can spread from animals to humans.

What are the most common zoonotic diseases in dogs and cats?

• Cryptosporidiosis
• Brucellosis
• Toxoplasmosis
• Campylobacteriosis
• Giardiasis
• Salmonellosis.
• Leptospirosis

To reduce the transmission of zoonotic diseases from your paw child, vaccination at the right time can act as antibody response. It’s time to get the vaccination record of your fur babies up-to-date at the top-rated pet store in Kasba, Kolkata. Your dog or cat, although staying at home, yet carries parasitic or bacterial infections. Thus, vaccines reduce the pathogen load in the animals, which can come through direct contact.
