Companion animal vaccines

Companion animal vaccines are medications that help protect pets like dogs and cats from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. They work by training the animal’s immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. Typically given through injections, vaccines are an essential part of preventive healthcare, ensuring pets stay healthy and reducing the risk of illness for other animals and humans. Vaccination schedules vary based on age, lifestyle, and local health guidelines, and your veterinarian can recommend the best plan to keep your pet safe.
