Why do dogs & cats need to get so many shots ?

Can’t they just get their first set of shots when their puppies & live the rest of their lives healthy ?

Answer #1

Same reason people need more than one immunization shot. Immunization eventually wears off. It’s not about them needing the shots. It’s about our science and people figuring out a way to make life.long immunizations. Technically dogs and cats dont NEED to get any shots to survive. You are simply increasing their odds of living a long and healthy life. The immunizations are something we created.
