Vaccinations For Dogs

Veterinarian-recommended vaccinations for dogs can be broken down into two categories – vaccines that are recommended for all dogs, and vaccines that may be recommended depending on your pet’s lifestyle and situation. For example, if you board your dog frequently, they may require more vaccinations than a dog that doesn’t have a lot of interaction with other dogs.
