Amid the arrival of spring, the importance of ensuring your pet's health through vaccinations is being highlighted by the City’s Animal Welfare Department. The department stresses the significance of keeping pets' vaccinations up to date to protect their well-being.

According to the City’s Animal Welfare Department, starting with a series of puppy and kitten shots and continuing with regular boosters throughout their adult life is crucial in safeguarding pets against preventable diseases.

As the weather warms up, the urge to spend time outdoors with pets grows. However, the department warns about the risks associated with not vaccinating pets, stating, "this time of year can bring a very sad realization of how many puppies in our community are not vaccinated against very deadly but preventable diseases."

Highlighting the benefits of pet vaccinations, the department emphasizes that it is one of the easiest ways to promote a long and healthy life for pets. By preventing diseases like rabies and distemper, which can be transmitted from wildlife, vaccinations play a vital role in maintaining pets' health and avoiding expensive treatments.

In conclusion, the department urges pet owners to be proactive in ensuring their companions' well-being, stating, "Be proactive and keep your companion healthy and happy!"
