Vaccinations

Vaccination has prevented the death of millions of pets. Up-to-date vaccinations play a pivotal role in maintaining your pet's health. In many states, vaccinations such as that for rabies are required by law, and residents must carry vaccination records to obtain a pet license. When most pets are born, they are safeguarded from various diseases by their mother's milk. However, this protection does not last forever.

Although no vaccine is 100 percent effective, outstanding injections can protect your vets against illnesses and help them recover quickly if they become infected. At TLC for Pets, our veterinarian has been providing residents of Reisterstown and Owings Mills with reliable pet vaccination services for many years.

Benefits of Pet Vaccinations

Vaccines prepare your pet’s immune system to fight off potentially fatal diseases. Vaccines can mitigate the severity of future diseases, and certain vaccines can prevent infections altogether. Vaccination is important because of the following reasons.

Prevent the Spread of Diseases to Other Animals

Many illnesses that veterinarians vaccinate against are highly contagious among animals. There are various vaccinations you can give to your pet to suppress the chances of contracting an illness. Diseases such as rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, and parvovirus spread faster in any environment where animals interact closely. 

Prevents the Spread of Disease to Human Beings

Some diseases can be transmitted from animals to humans. Ailments like rabies and leptospirosis can make human beings seriously ill. When you vaccinate your pets against these zoonotic diseases, you are not only protecting them, but also protecting yourself, your family, and those in your community.

Keep Your Pet Healthy

Your pet is a member of your family. It's crucial to talk to your veterinarian about which vaccines your pets need and get them on a vaccination schedule. There are two types of pet vaccines – core and non-core. Core vaccines are required by law, while non-core vaccines will be recommended based on your pet’s environment and lifestyle. Vaccinations can also help you avoid expensive treatment for diseases that could have easily been prevented with vaccination.
