What Diseases do We Vaccinate Dogs Against?

The viruses spread very quickly; many of them can be spread from dogs to humans.

• Rabies is a fatal disease equally dangerous for dogs and humans. The rabies vaccination is compulsory for all dogs 3 months of age and older.
• Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that spreads from wild animals and rodents. Difficult to treat, it often occurs in a severe form and damages the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, or liver. The infection is transmitted to humans.
• Plague is a disease that affects a nervous system of pets, mostly puppies. It’s a severe disease that can turn into a chronic form with such complications as convulsions and paralysis. Without proper treatment, it causes sudden death in dogs.
• Adenovirus is an infectious disease, mostly typical of animals living in groups. Its common complication is acute pneumonia, sometimes fatal.
• Parvoviral enteritis is a viral disease accompanied by an acute gastrointestinal disorder. It affects puppies mainly, although adult pets with weakened immunity systems are also likely to get sick. The disease requires immediate vaccination.
• Parainfluenza is a viral disease with dangerous complications in the form of acute pneumonia. Animals living in groups are commonly vaccinated against parainfluenza.
• Adenovirus hepatitis is an acute viral disease with a high mortality rate. The symptoms are high fever and a damaged liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, and central nervous system. Acute form is quite common among young dogs, whereas dogs over 3 years old acquire its chronic form.
