Types of Vaccinations
Just like with humans, pets need vaccinations to try to protect them from disease. Also like with humans, some vaccinations are considered more important than others.
Core vaccinations are the vaccinations that are considered most important for your pet. This can be because of a range of reasons, including the risk of exposure, severity of the disease, or possible transmissibility to humans. In this article, we will focus on the core vaccinations that your dog and cat need.
Core Vaccinations for Dogs
We will go through the main core vaccinations for dogs, with a description of the disease each vaccination is trying to prevent.
Canine Parvovirus
A vaccination against parvovirus is necessary because of how contagious it is, as well as because of the negative symptoms associated with it, including severe vomiting and bloody diarrhea. If untreated, this disease is usually fatal to dogs.
Distemper
This air-borne disease could cause permanent brain damage, among other severe symptoms.
Canine Hepatitis
Also called adenovirus, or CAV-1, canine hepatitis is spread via infected saliva, urine, and feces and can lead to severe liver damage or even death.
Rabies
There is no treatment for rabies, which is 100% fatal. Because of this, prevention via a rabies vaccine is essential.
Core Vaccinations for Cats
Here we will go through the main core vaccinations for cats, with a description of the disease each vaccination is trying to prevent.
Panleukemia (Feline Distemper)
Panleukemia, or feline distemper, is extremely contagious. It usually is contracted by kittens and is fatal.
Feline Calicivirus
Feline calicivirus is a very contagious condition that affects the upper respiratory system, causing oral ulcerations, fever, joint pain, and anorexia.
Feline Herpesvirus Type I (Rhinotracheitis)
This virus is also very contagious and is also an upper respiratory condition.
Rabies
Just like with dogs, rabies can be fatal to cats, with no treatments available. Because of this, vaccination is key.
