Vaccines for Dogs

Vaccines are necessary to reduce illnesses in dogs caused by infectious diseases. They work by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and fight a particular microorganism such as a virus or bacteria. The vaccine helps the body prevent infection or lessen the severity of the infection, and promotes rapid recovery.
