Like us, our pets possess the immune system. It is responsible to repel illnesses. There are two types of them:
- Inborn immune system – Body’s main defense against bacteria
- Obtained immune system – When the system has encountered a disease before and obtained memory to fight against the illness again
Pets need to be vaccinated for two reasons:
- Because of law in an area
- Pet with outgoing lifestyle
Do All Pets Require to be Vaccinated?
Pets need vaccination, but it varies depending on regulations. One known universal vaccine is anti-rabies. The administration of other vaccines depends on the decision of the family or veterinarian.
