Essential Vaccines for Dogs

Don't miss out on Rabies vaccine at all. The disease can be fatal if an infected dog bites someone.

Tip 3 - Parainfluenza vaccine for Kennel Cough

The parainfluenza virus commonly causes kennel cough, which is much like cases of flu and influenza in humans. The disease is also transmitted in the same way, so make sure you get vaccinations for this.

Tip 4 - Parvovirus Vaccine

Canine Parvovirus is very contagious and affects dogs mainly. Young puppies must get vaccinated against this.

Tip 5 - Canine Hepatitis/Adenovirus

Canine hepatitis is caused by the adenovirus and it can lead to an infection of the respiratory tract. Damage to your dog's liver can also occur if not vaccinated. You should get the CAV-2 vaccine because the CAV-1 has a lot of side effects.
