Dog Vaccinations & Treatments

“If my dog is always clean and we don’t go out, they don’t need vaccines.”

Many dog parents think like this, and this is completely wrong.

Most of the time, our dogs don’t go to where the danger is but the danger comes to them.

Microbes and parasites can be carried into your home on your clothes, shoes, other pets, or even through the air in some cases.

Yes, regular vaccination may cost some money, but it will never be more expensive than losing your beloved dog.

To clear up confusion about vaccinations, here’s what you need to know.

Core Vaccines (the most essential)

a. DHPPi+L2
