Dog Vaccines

- Subcutaneous immunization: Under the skin
- Intramuscular immunization: Into the muscle
- Three types: Live, modified live or killed
- Bordetella vaccines: Given in liquid form through the nose

Dog Vaccines prevent dogs from getting diseases that could otherwise make them very ill, or even kill them. In the past, most veterinarians recommended vaccinations take place every year; however, recent discoveries in the area of vaccinations have led the American Animal Hospital Association to recommend that vaccinations be given every three years. They also recommended certain vaccinations be omitted, as the vaccinations were either ineffective or dangerous to the dog. Other vaccines are given only to certain segments of the dog population, leaving only a handful that should be given to every dog.
Because dogs in shelters live in a different environment than dogs that are kept as family pets, recommendations for shelter dog vaccinations are different than the recommendations for dogs in homes.
