What do you know about dog vaccinations?

Some dog owners think that vaccinations and immunizations are worthless, but!

Dog vaccinations are very important because they simply protect your dog from diseases that could cause death, God forbid!

Dog vaccinations are not a secondary thing, but the most important thing in the life of any pet, especially in the early stages of its life!

In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about dog vaccinations.

How do dog vaccines work inside your dog's body?

Do you remember when you were young in school? The school doctor would come and give the whole class a measles vaccination.

What you took is a miniature image of measles itself!

This is so that the body can take this image, store it, and form antibodies against the disease.

As soon as the disease attacks you, you find that the immunization has worked and begins to attack the disease, produce antibodies, and protect you from the disease.

This is exactly what happens in your pet's body...

When you vaccinate him, you give him a miniature image of the parvovirus, for example (which is found in the two-, five-, and eight-valent vaccines)!

The body begins to photograph it and store it in its white blood cells (memory cell) …

So when your pet is in a place where there is an infection, or it is transmitted from another pet, its immune system begins to remember the image of the vaccination it received, and produces antibodies to the disease.

So what diseases do vaccinations protect my dog from?

Dog Vaccinations: Immunity Against the 3 Most Dangerous Diseases!

Viruses are one of the most dangerous pathogens, and they are all around us and can infect pets at any time!

The danger of viruses is that they have no cure. The symptoms are treated, but if, God forbid, your pet is infected with a viral disease, then we must vaccinate the pet against it.

Prevention is better than cure!

You must follow this principle with your pet.

That's why we have to be one step ahead of the virus and vaccinate the pet and boost its immune system so that it is ready when the virus attacks.

Dog vaccinations protect dogs from 3 serious viral diseases, which are:

1- Parvovirus

One of the most common and dangerous viral diseases that affect dogs is parvovirus!

Its danger lies in the fact that it is transmitted from one dog to another, and attacks the dog’s digestive system... causing vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and fever.

It is very easy for a dog to get the disease if its immunity has fallen, or if it is not vaccinated.

Note: The Rottweiler is the dog most susceptible to this virus because its immunity is easily lost...

I mean, be careful, if he is put under pressure, his immunity will fall.

If he gets an infection, he won't be able to attack it, and his immunity will fall.

If his food is weak and does not contain all the elements he needs, his immunity will fall.

2- Distemper disease

Similar to Parvo, but it doesn't only affect the digestive system...it also affects the respiratory and nervous systems.

3- Rabies

Rabies is a dangerous viral disease, because it is also transmitted to humans.

Of course, it is transmitted from one dog to another... So be careful if you find out that there is a dog with one of these diseases in the same place as your dog... remove it immediately.

Dog Vaccination Schedule and Protocol

According to the nominations of WSAVA , the largest international veterinary organization, we will tell you a system and protocol that you can rely on after reviewing it with your veterinarian, because each dog has its own condition!

1- We start at the age of 28 days with the dual vaccination (there are two diseases that most affect dogs at a young age), as if you are telling your pet’s immune system to start being active.

2- At the age of 35 days, we raise the calf a little and give it the pentavalent vaccination.

3- At the age of 45 days, he is now able to receive the rest of the vaccinations. So he takes one of these: the quintuple, the septuple, or the octave.

We prefer the pentathlon and the septathlon, then repeat it 3 weeks later.

4- At the age of 3-6 months...the most important vaccination is the rabies vaccination for dogs, which is repeated once a year.

Note: Any vaccination is injected under the skin, so be careful when the doctor gives your pet the vaccination so that it does not go into the wrong place and harm your pet.

That's it...

What about worming and insect vaccinations for dogs?

It is very important to give the worm dose 14 days after the first time you gave it to him, in order to eliminate the entire life cycle of the worm.

Which is Adult, then Egg, then Larve.

In the first dose, you kill the Adult, but the Egg is still there, so you wait until it hatches and gives you the Larva, and that is on the 14th day when you give the second dose.. So you have killed all the worms present.

That's why it's not possible to be late for a day, or you will have to start over from the beginning.
