Vaccinations play a crucial role in protecting your pet from various diseases. Here are the core vaccines that every dog and cat should receive:

For Dogs:

• Rabies: Required by law in most areas, this vaccine protects against the fatal rabies virus.
• Distemper: Protects against a severe viral illness that affects multiple body systems.
• Parvovirus: Guards against a highly contagious virus that causes severe gastrointestinal illness.
• Adenovirus: Prevents infectious hepatitis.

For Cats:

• Rabies: Also required for cats in many areas.
• FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia): A combination vaccine that protects against three common feline diseases.
• Feline Leukemia: Recommended for outdoor cats or those exposed to outdoor cats.

Always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best vaccination schedule for your pet based on their lifestyle, risk factors, and local regulations.
