Vaccination is extremely important as it protects pets from highly contagious diseases they can get through
simple contact with other dogs or from the environment, especially in high traffic areas such as dog parks, dog beaches, and grooming facilities.
Simple, common sense measures are in order, including the avoidance of
contact with ill animals (and if your
dog is ill, avoid
contact with other dogs until your
dog has fully recovered) and cleaning up after your pet passes stool.
