Immunizing Your Pet to Fight Diseases

---

     Vaccinating your pet is all up to you. This decision depends on the owner as soon as he owns it. The main reason for this is to protect the animal and fight against viral and bacterial diseases. Nowadays, the environment is more exposed to bacteria and viruses. Therefore you must boost the immune system of your pet in order to protect its health by means of prevention. This primary prevention is the best option you can take if you wish to keep your dogs and cats healthy at all times. As soon as the puppies or kittens are born, immunizations should be given right away according to the right timing and dosage. It would be best to consult a veterinarian who is more knowledgeable regarding this matter since each vaccine has its own schedule that would be perfect to your pet.

If you wish to buy a puppy, kitten or other animals, make sure that you will obtain it from a licensed breeder. With this, you can rest assured that their environment is free from infectious diseases. We all know that clean and safe environment plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy body. If you have friends and relatives who are selling their pets, then do not hesitate to grab the offer rather than going to the market. Since you already know the seller, risk for acquiring infections would be lower since they are being taken care of properly.

Usually, pet owners obtain an immunization record of their pet. This record will help you in remembering the right schedule for every vaccine to be introduced. As your puppy will reach six weeks old, bring him to the veterinarian so that immunization will be given according to his age. If you have a lot of pets, better set a schedule wherein everybody will take its shot so that you won't come back to your veterinarian from time to time bringing a single pet. It will be very time consuming on your part. These vaccines are necessary for their health especially in boosting their immune system. However, it can be costly on your part as the owner. The best thing that you could do when it comes to funds, plan ahead of time. You can prepare everything if you'll be able to foresee the need before it will actually happen. Besides, when you think that you cannot manage to have more than one pet, then settle for a puppy and a kitten or a pair of male and female puppies.

After receiving their inoculation shots, you can follow up it with a booster shot so that the anti bodies will definitely develop inside the system of your beloved pet. One of the most important inoculations to be given to the puppies is the anti-rabies shot. This must not be missed because safety should be considered first. There are times that we cannot control the animals' behavior especially when they are sick or not in good mood. They might bite or scratch you with their claws. To be safe, injecting them with anti-rabies will prevent you from getting infected. The pet itself will also be protected.
