Dog owners all want their dogs to be healthy, so what can be done to effectively ensure their dogs’ health? That is to vaccinate your dog. This can prevent your dog from suffering from more serious diseases such as parvovirus, canine distemper, and rabies, which is of great benefit to your dog's health.
1. Susceptible to infectious diseases
Dogs are not vaccinated and their bodies do not have any antibodies that can resist viruses. Especially young dogs, whose own resistance is relatively weak. Once they come into contact with infectious sources, they have a high probability of contracting some diseases, such as canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus, rabies virus, rabies and other infectious diseases.
2. High mortality rate
Diseases such as canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine corona, and rabies are all fatal to dogs. There are currently no specific drugs to treat these diseases, and the mortality rate is as high as 50-80%. Therefore, for the health of dogs, it is recommended that owners vaccinate their dogs on time.
3. Impact on human health
Rabies virus is a zoonotic disease. The main source of infection is animals carrying rabies virus. When an animal carrying the virus bites a human body, the virus will enter the blood circulation through the damaged wound and infect the human body. Patients infected with the virus often develop symptoms such as photophobia, water fear, and wind fear, and eventually die of circulatory failure or respiratory failure. Therefore, failure to vaccinate dogs not only poses a threat to the dog’s life, but also affects human health.
