Why is good health valuable? It can be answered with a simple yet true statement: It is important because health is our “everything” and it allows us to execute our day by day tasks in our lives correctly. It is vital for us to have a long and lasting life and if you don’t take good care of your health, it may mean expenses, lost time, and suffering. Overall, I would say, it is important because it is our greatest asset. null Maintaining good hygiene may be one of the few things you have to do to maintain good health and others would include having the right diet, exercise and sleeping properly. What others fail to do, is to have regular appointments with their doctors, and vaccination.
Vaccination is the way of preventing growth of illness in our body and it also plays a great role in reducing or even eradicating the occurrence of cases of many known diseases. Your dog, as part of keeping him healthy, should be properly vaccinated. This can assist him and other dogs that he may meet to avoid acquiring various diseases. To know more about vaccination, you can consult your vet and you can also continue reading as I have researched a few things and pointers about vaccination. A dog’s vaccine may come as monovalent or a combination shot that will protect your dogs from many common dog diseases. Given below are the different kinds of vaccines: When, why and what your dog should be getting.
1. null Parvovirus is a highly communicable canine disease. It is transmitted via indirect or direct contact with their feces. It has two major kinds: intestinal and cardiac. null A result of this in cardiac form is cardiovascular or respiratory failure.
2. Ay six to nine weeks - You should give your dog a combination vaccine - a 5-way vaccine. It is composed of adenovirus cough and hepatitis, distemper, parainfluenza, and parvovirus vaccines. A coronavirus vaccine may also be given if there is a high risk of having Coronavirus at this age. Distemper is a disease that attacks the gastrointestinal, respiratory and nervous system. Symptoms may include cough, lethargy, vomiting, discharges in nose and eyes. Seizures and weakness can be seen in advanced stages. null
3. At twelve weeks and above - At this time, a rabies vaccine can be given. However, at some states, there are local laws given, advising pet owners to have their pets be vaccinated at a certain age. Bordetella Bronchiseptica is also advised to be given especially if he will be around other dogs. The disease is also called Kennel cough with the symptom of a dry cough.It is most common in places where there are many dogs.
4. At 12 and 15 weeks- Combination vaccine that includes leptospirosis, coronavirus aand Lyme vaccine.
5. After 15 weeks of age- additional shots for parvovirus may be given.
null Booster shots:
Distemper Mixture - it is never given for dogs 12 years and older.
null
Rabies vaccine- should be annually given or depending on the state law.
Parvovirus- After completion of the puppy series, it should be given 1 year after. Following shots should have 3-4 years interval.
With right vaccination, you can prolong your dog’s life, prevent him from suffering and save your money and time. You must keep in mind that having these vaccines would not insure 100% of protection against the said diseases and should also always bring them to the veterinarian for routine check-ups. In addition, good health requires the mixture of appropriate hygiene, right shelter, good food and lots of exercise.
