Are vaccines for pets and kennel animals different?
indoor dog
For these dogs, we recommend a range of core vaccinations. It includes vaccines against: distemper, contagious hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis. In everyday life, this combination of vaccines is usually sufficient. Indoor dogs have a low risk of contracting infectious diseases that can be transmitted by contact with other animals
kennel dog
Kennel dogs have a higher risk of infection than indoor dogs due to close contact with members of their own species. Therefore, in addition to the basic series of vaccines, we also recommend the kennel cough vaccine for dogs, which covers a number of infectious respiratory diseases
