Cat and Dog Vaccinations in Springfield, MO Help Control the Spread of Disease

A protected pet is a healthy pet, and much of this protection can be obtained (and maintained) with vaccines. Cat and dog vaccinations in Springfield, MO can dramatically reduce the spread of disease among dogs, cats, and even humans. It’s important to recognize that even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, you or a family member could still unknowingly carry a virus into the house and put your pet at risk. Vaccines such as those for rabies and distemper are a safe, proactive, and highly effective way to fortify your dog or cat against infection.
