As responsible dog owners, it’s important to prioritize the health and well-being of our beloved pets. Protecting them from common kennel diseases like DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus) and rabies is a critical aspect of their overall health.
DHLPP: Convenient Protection
DHLPP is a combination vaccine that conveniently covers five different diseases with just one injection. However, it’s essential to note that these diseases can be serious if your dog is exposed and unvaccinated. The American Veterinary Medical Association provides detailed information on these diseases and the importance of the DHLPP vaccine.
Rabies: Stay Safe
Rabies is another disease that can be harmful not only to our pets but also to humans. In most states, rabies vaccination is not just recommended but required by law. For more information on the rabies virus and vaccination, you can visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/index.html).
Prevention is Key
At Upstate Dog Training, we believe in taking a proactive approach to pet health. Before exposing your pets to other dogs in settings like daycare or boarding, it’s important to ensure they are vaccinated against these diseases. Vaccination creates a protective barrier, keeping your dog safe from potentially harmful diseases that can be easily transmitted in a kennel environment.
Socialization and Health Go Hand in Hand
Socialization plays a vital role in a dog’s life, helping them become well-rounded, confident, and less likely to develop behavioral problems. However, it’s crucial to prioritize their health when engaging in socialization activities. Ensuring your dog is healthy and protected allows them to socialize with peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
We understand that some dog owners may have concerns when it comes to grouping their dogs in daycare or boarding their dogs. But rest assured, with proper precautions such as timely vaccinations, kenneling daycare can be a safe and enjoyable experience for your pet. After all, a healthy pet is a happy pet!
