From preventing dangerous diseases to promoting a long and healthy life, vaccinations are one of the best investments you can make for your pet. Aborn Pet Hospital tailors our vaccine schedules to your pet’s exact needs in Fremont, CA, to safeguard their health for life.
Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?
Vaccinations protect pets from various infectious diseases that can lead to severe illness or even death. For example, core vaccines, like those for rabies, are legally required in California, as they help prevent the spread of diseases transmissible to humans and other animals. Vaccines for conditions like parvovirus, distemper, and bordetella (kennel cough) are also highly recommended, as they protect pets in communal spaces, including parks, kennels, and grooming facilities.
Key Benefits of Vaccinating Your Pet:
- Reduces the risk of serious health conditions
- Lowers potential veterinary costs by preventing illnesses
- Protects public health by preventing disease transmission
