Vaccinations protect pets from a number of potentially dangerous diseases. By injecting them with a very weak or man-made version of the disease, your pet’s body produces antibodies to fight and defeat it. This means that if they catch the same disease in the future, their immune system is able to efficiently recognise and resist it. Pets need to be vaccinated early to ensure they stay safe from disease. Young pets are at a much higher risk of catching serious illnesses, and if they do fall ill, these diseases are more likely to be fatal or cause lifelong health issues. This means it’s vital that your young pet is vaccinated at the right time and that you follow all of the instructions given by your vet.
