Our Salt Lake City vet care facility administers the following pet vaccines to dogs:
- Rabies — Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through a bite. It affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain. Untreated rabies eventually leads to death.
- Bordetella — This vaccine protects dogs against bacteria often found in common dog spaces like parks or boarding facilities. It often leads to various respiratory issues for dogs, including kennel cough and tracheobronchitis.
- Distemper — The distemper vaccine protects against a contagious virus that causes issues in dogs and puppies’ gastrointestinal, respiratory, and nervous systems.
- Parvovirus — Giving dogs a parvovirus vaccine helps protect them against the parvovirus. It causes gastrointestinal issues and can be fatal if left untreated.
