Dog diseases occur in the family pet just as frequent as their owners have to deal with specific health concerns. Just as humans receive shots and vaccinations to prevent the development of common diseases and conditions, dogs should also be given a regular set of immunizations to help prevent the heartache that comes with sickness, especially when preventable.
