Why are vaccinations important for your dog?
Vaccines help to protect your dog from a variety of serious and potentially fatal disorders and diseases. Vaccinating your puppy from the very beginning and following a schedule of vaccinations will ensure your dog will live a long and healthy life free of preventable diseases. When you vaccinate your puppy you provide a solid foundation for their well-being in the future.
