Vaccination of dogs...
Vaccination consists of a prime immunization and booster doses.
The success of a vaccination depends on the
following factors:
• Only healthy dogs should be vaccinated.
• The dogs must be free of parasites.
• Avoid vaccination in times of stress (change of residence ...)
• Respect the intervals between vaccinations.

Rabies
Very important, although rabies in Spain is considered to be eradicated. Since rabies cases occur in neighboring countries and the possibility exists that sick animals can be imported into Spain.
Leishmania Vaccine
Leishmania is a parasite disease
transmitted by a mosquito spread widely in the Community of Madrid. The
disease can also be transmitted to humans. Vaccination does not protect
100%, which is why complementary antiparasitic methods should be used to
protect our dog from mosquitoes.
Vaccination scheme for Leishmania
1. Prior to vaccination: Blood test to
check if the dog is already infected.
2. First dose
3. Second dose (after 2 weeks)
4. Third dose (after further 2 weeks)
