Booster vaccines are essential for maintaining your pet’s immunity against serious diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies. While initial vaccinations build immunity, their effects can diminish over time. Boosters "remind" the immune system how to recognize and fight specific pathogens, ensuring continued protection.

Most core vaccines require boosters annually or every three years, depending on the vaccine type and your pet’s health. Non-core vaccines may have different schedules based on risk factors. Regular boosters help prevent outbreaks, even in adult pets who seem healthy.

Skipping boosters can leave pets vulnerable to infections. Diseases like parvovirus and rabies remain prevalent in wildlife, posing constant risks. Boosters are a cost-effective way to protect your pet’s health and prevent expensive emergency treatments.

In conclusion, booster shots are not just routine—they are a vital part of your pet’s long-term health strategy. Stay consistent with your pet’s booster schedule to ensure lasting immunity.
