Indepentemente of vaccines that your veterinarian will apply the multiple vaccines (V8 or V10) and anti-rabies vaccination is mandatory in any scheme.
Adults who have never been vaccinated dogs or puppies that have passed the correct time to vaccinate need to receive two doses of multiple vaccine (with an interval of 21 days between them) and a dose of rabies vaccine. This also applies to dogs "unknown" when it is not known whether they were vaccinated one day.

In these vaccines, there immunization against leishmaniasis or kala-azar, an important zoonosis (disease that can be transmitted from animal to humans). This vaccine is applied in regions where the disease is common and should be preceded by tests to detect if the dog already has the disease.

One should not vaccinate puppies under 45 days of age unless the bitch that gave birth to the puppies have never been vaccinated because the vaccines can be inactivated by antibodies passed from the mother to the offspring.

All domestic animals, usually the canines and felines, require extra protection with regard to your health ... and health of their owners. Yes, because a dog or cat unvaccinated run not only much greater risk that they will incur serious and highly contagious diseases, as well as come to contract zoonoses, or diseases transmissible to humans (as is the case of rabies).

Vaccination of domestic animals contributed, throughout the twentieth century to prevent the deaths of millions of animals, according to experts estimate. And pet owners should not fail to vaccinate the dog or cat against rabies just because this disease has been eradicated from the country where they live, without evidence of any cases today. Diseases like this are highly contagious and anger, in particular, comes from animals like bats and foxes. Therefore, the vaccination will also give more freedom to your pet as it may cause increased security what we like best: play and travel.

The classic vaccination schedule prevents all these diseases, but sometimes the veterinarian may consider that the characteristics of the animal or the region where he lives require extra vaccines (to prevent diseases such as feline leukemia, giardia or leishmaniasis).

Animals should see its reinforced vaccination every year, since studies point to the duration of immunity to one year. However, know that the veterinarian who treats your pet is who will decide the right time to revaccination. This will be decided depending on the animal's lifestyle: if it's homemade, whether it is animal exposure and contests, whether it is animal hunting.
Finally, know that vaccination in very rare cases, such as vaccination administered in humans, could entail some risks and even trigger severe crises in animals. But the disastrous occurrences are uncommon and the risk-protection gains greater expression when we think the risks that entails an animal is not vaccinated.
