That's right, there are some vaccines that are more important and therefore considered the main ones by veterinary doctors. Meanwhile, if you take your pet to hotels and daycare centers, you may also need to apply other types.

Although there is no official protocol, it is very important that you do not delay or skip any vaccinations for your pet. After all, having a happy dog also means having a healthy pet!

Therefore, if you want to program yourself and better understand how it works and what these essential vaccines are for your dog, read on. See below why they are important and consult a veterinarian to schedule the application.

Like vaccines for humans, this is a method of immunization for animals. In that sense, they contain the attenuated virus or bacteria and aim to induce the pet's organism to produce antibodies.

That is, vaccines will help with the immune system of pets. That's why they are so essential for dogs and other animals, as they protect against diseases and zoonoses that can also affect humans.

Therefore, to prevent the spread of these diseases, it is very important that you keep your pet's veterinary appointments up to date, in addition to vaccination.

According to professionals, the first vaccines usually happen at 45 days of life of the animal. In addition, it is essential that you do the annual booster according to the veterinary doctor's guidance.

After all, delaying your pet's vaccine will result in an unprotected animal susceptible to disease. So, you better protect him, right?

First, remember that only a few states make rabies vaccination mandatory. That is, there are many others that, although important, are considered “non-essential”.

However, if you use dog hotels or even daycare centers, these establishments may ask for certain vaccines so that your pet has access to the premises. See some of them below.

Although it is not a mandatory vaccine, if your dog lives near forests such as farms or country houses, the veterinarian may recommend the vaccine against Leishmaniasis. The disease is caused by a mosquito and is considered a zoonosis.

In addition, immunization should take place early in the dog's life, usually at 4 months. But be careful! Specific exams need to be carried out to make sure the pet is healthy to receive the vaccine, okay?

The giardiasis vaccine is also not part of the group of essential vaccines for your dog. However, it may be recommended by the veterinarian depending on the region where you live.

The disease is also a zoonosis and can cause diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and other related symptoms. Even if the first dose happens with only 8 weeks of the pet's life, an annual booster is also needed.

As with humans, this vaccine is very important during the winter. That's because she will protect against the flu in dogs. Although it has mild symptoms, the infection causes unpleasant symptoms such as cough, runny nose and fever.

By the way, if your pet attends daycare centers and has frequent contact with other dogs, this could be a very important vaccine! So, talk to your veterinarian to find out the real need for the application.

In addition to essential vaccines, do you already know about ethical vaccines? Well, that term is very important for the health of your furry friend! That's because he refers to vaccines that are applied only by veterinary doctors.

In addition, the professional performs tests to assess the animal's immune condition and only then recommend the best option. So make a veterinary appointment before applying the essential vaccines for your dog, okay?

Even though only a few states have this vaccine as compulsory, it is one of the most important for your pet! After all, she's the one who will protect your dog against rabies, a serious zoonosis caused by viral infection.

The disease is fatal and has no cure! Therefore, it is extremely important that you vaccinate your dog against rabies. The first dose should happen after 4 months of life of the animal and its booster is annual.

One of the most popular vaccines among veterinarians, V8 protects against multiple diseases, including:

The first dose of this vaccine should usually happen when the animal is 45 days old. Meanwhile, you also need to do an annual booster so that your pet remains fully protected.

In addition to the V8, another option highly recommended by veterinarians is the V10. As its name says, it protects against 10 diseases simultaneously, which is why it is one of the essential vaccines for your dog.

For those who prefer more complete protection, they can choose to apply V10 instead of V8. In addition to the 8 other diseases V8 protects against, V10 also includes 2 more strains of leptospirosis.

Also, remember that who should determine the best vaccine for your pet is the veterinarian. So, it's important that you schedule an appointment to take the necessary exams before applying.

As you can see, having a dog or any other pet is a lot of responsibility. In addition to health, affection and attention, many need training to behave well!
