WHY CAN’T I GIVE MY OWN VACCINATIONS TO MY PET?

You can, with the exception of Rabies. However, we do NOT recommend it for several reasons. A physical exam by a veterinarian should be performed prior to any vaccine to make sure there are no major health risks or illness that may cause complications or prevent the vaccine from being effective. A veterinarian is also equipped to handle emergencies relating to any vaccine reaction that may occur. Vaccines also need to be handled properly (shipping, storage, proper administration) to be effective.
