What Are Puppy Shots For? What Do Puppy Vaccinations Do?
Dogs are beautiful, loyal and generally great friends – but on a more basic level, they’re kinda dirty! They play in mud, sniff and lick things they shouldn’t, etc. The problem is that your puppy’s immune system doesn’t know how to fight every disease in the book. Puppy vaccination shots basically give your dog a harmless version of various diseases. His immune system responds by developing antibodies against those diseases, so that if and when the harmful, natural version of those germs enters his body, he’ll be ready.
