Hello, Dallas Voice readers! As usual, I am thrilled you are here to read this month’s Woof column. Today, we are diving into a topic that is crucial for keeping our furry friends safe: vaccinations for dogs and cats.
While every veterinarian may have their own approach, most follow similar guidelines. Personally, I believe in a “less is more” approach, where some vaccines are recommended only if they fit your pet’s lifestyle.
As always, these decisions are best made when having a conversation with your veterinarian. Let’s start with the parvo vaccine for dogs, which is a lifesaver against the dangerous parvovirus.
This lethal virus, spread through contact with infected stool, affects a dog’s stomach and intestines, especially and most commonly in puppies, even when they are only partially vaccinated.
