Importance of Vaccines

Are you a pet owner who is unsure whether or not to vaccinate your pet? At Power Road Animal Hospital, we believe that vaccines are important for keeping your pet healthy and safe. Here are some of the reasons why we recommend vaccinating your pet.

Vaccines Protect Against Disease

One of the most important reasons pets should get vaccinated is that they protect animals against harmful diseases. There are a variety of deadly diseases out there that can affect both cats and dogs, and vaccines are the best way to ensure your pet is well protected. Vaccines work by exposing your pet to weakened versions of the virus or bacteria that causes the disease. This allows the body to learn how to properly protect itself if ever exposed to it.

Vaccines Are Safe

Another common concern among pet owners is whether or not they are safe. The fact is that vaccines are very safe and have been used to protect people and animals for decades. The side effects are usually minor and go away quickly. Serious side effects are infrequent. However, we only administer vaccines we believe will be safe and effective for your pet.

Vaccines Save Lives

One of the most important reasons to vaccinate your pet is that vaccines have been responsible for saving the lives of millions of animals over the years. Thanks to vaccines, diseases that were once deadly are now much more manageable. By vaccinating your pet, you are helping to protect them and the animal population as a whole.
