Even if your dog spends the majority of their time indoors, keeping your furry friend up-to-date on vaccinations will protect your dog, other dogs, and your family from common diseases. Additionally, wild animals are known to be carriers of certain diseases like rabies. Mice, bats, squirrels, and birds can end up in your home through chimneys, garages, and crawl spaces before potentially interacting with your pet. If you travel with your dog or board them in a facility, you will likely be required to have proof of vaccination.
