Vaccines are health products that trigger protective immune responses in pets and prepare them to fight future infections from disease-causing agents. Vaccines lessen the severity of future diseases and certain vaccines can prevent infection all together. Today a variety of vaccines are available for use by veterinarians. Our veterinary team constantly assess new research and use this to ensure we stay as up-to-date as possible with respect to vaccinations in pets.
