Why Pet Vaccinations Are Important
Keeping your pet current on vaccines supports their health, your household, and the Cranberry Township community. Here are a few reasons vaccines matter:
-
Helps Prevent Serious Illness
Vaccines defend against conditions such as rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia, which can be severe and sometimes untreatable.
-
Reduces Future Medical Expenses
Prevention often costs far less than treatment. Routine vaccinations may help avoid unexpected and costly care down the road.
-
Protects Pets and People
Some illnesses, including rabies and leptospirosis, can pass from animals to humans. Vaccination adds an extra layer of protection for everyone.
