Your dog benefits from a certain amount of protection from disease while nursing his mother’s milk. However, soon he will need vaccinations to continue this protection. Some vaccinations are required by law so contact your local animal control organization to better understand your obligations. Other vaccinations are recommended because of your dog’s activities. Vaccinations may be given in a single dose or a series of dosages but all vaccinations require periodic booster shots. Never skip vaccinations in a series or boosters since delays may put your dog at risk of contracting a dangerous disease if he is exposed to it. Your dog may be sore at the injection site or cranky after receiving a vaccination. Soon he will be back to his old self and protected from disease. To learn more and set up a comprehensive vaccination schedule for your dog, contact your vet clinic Heath, TX.
