Dog vaccine misunderstandings:

1. Owners believe that dogs will not be infected by viruses if they go out less or never go out, so they do not need to be vaccinated. In fact, the virus has a very strong ability to spread. Even if the dog does not go out, if the owner is exposed to the virus when going out, he may bring it home and infect the dog.

2. Vaccination is very important. Newly purchased puppies should be vaccinated immediately and cannot be delayed for too long. In fact, dogs will become stressed when they change to a new environment and their resistance will decrease. They need to adapt to the new environment for a period of time before they can be vaccinated.

3. To make the dog babies healthier, vaccinating the pregnant dog mother can enhance the antibodies against the baby. Dogs are relatively fragile during pregnancy and their resistance will decrease. Vaccination at this time may cause the female dog to become sick, cause fetal malformation, and may even cause miscarriage.

4. Vaccines prevent infectious diseases. Dogs will not get sick if they are vaccinated. In fact, vaccination only prevents several infectious diseases, and it is not a 100% defense rate, so it does not mean that dogs will never get sick.

5. As long as you are vaccinated in the first year, you don’t need to be vaccinated in the future. You only need to be vaccinated once in your life. The dog's immune vaccine has an immunity period. As the age increases, the protective effect becomes weaker and weaker, so a booster shot is required every year.
