The Rabies Vaccine protects your pet against Rabies. Rabies is spread to unvaccinated animals through the saliva of infected animals, most commonly skunks, raccoons, coyotes and foxes. In unvaccinated animals, rabies causes muscle spasms, paralysis and death—and once symptoms appear, there is no viable treatment. Its lethality and ease of transmission are why most states require a rabies vaccine for dogs by law.

Your pet will need to be at least 3 months old to receive this vaccination. The City of Harlingen requires this vaccination on an annual basis in all pets and also requires that your pet have a city license tag, which must be purchased within 7 days of your pets rabies vaccine. Tags can be purchased at your veterinarians office with your rabies certificate. The Humane Society of Harlingen sells rabies tags for $10.

The DHPP vaccine for dogs is a combined vaccination for distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza and parvovirus.

The adenovirus vaccine protects dogs against both CAV-2—which can cause kennel cough—and liver infections caused by CAV-1.

Your pet will need to be at least 6 weeks old to receive their initial vaccination. Most veterinarians recommend that puppies receive this vaccination 3 to 4 times, each spaced 2-4 weeks apart. After their initial series, most veterinarians recommend providing this vaccine along with the rabies vaccine on an annual basis.

You may have heard of feline panleukopenia by a different name—distemper. It’s widespread, highly contagious and can be deadly. This virus usually affects a cat’s bone marrow and lymph nodes, leading to decreased production of both white and red blood cells and severely lowered immunity.
