Consequences of not vaccinating dogs

Dogs who do not receive vaccines are prone to contracting various infectious diseases, such as distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, and rabies, among others. These diseases pose a significant threat to a dog's life, with high mortality rates. Particularly concerning is rabies, a zoonotic disease that not only threatens a dog's life but also affects human health. Therefore, for the safety of both the dog and its owner, it is recommended to start vaccination procedures from the dog's 40th day of life.

1. Easy to contract infectious diseases

Dogs who do not receive vaccines have no antibodies to protect against viruses. Especially in young dogs with weaker immune systems, they are highly susceptible to contracting diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and rabies upon exposure to infectious sources.

1. High mortality rate

Diseases like distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, and rabies are fatal to dogs. Furthermore, there are no specific drugs to treat these diseases, and the mortality rate ranges from 50 to 80%. Therefore, to ensure a dog's health, it is advised to vaccinate them on time.

1. Impact on human health

Rabies is a zoonotic disease transmitted mainly through bites from infected animals. When an infected animal bites a human, the virus enters the bloodstream through the broken skin and infects the person. Patients infected with the virus often exhibit symptoms such as photophobia, fear of water, and fear of wind, eventually dying of circulatory or respiratory failure. Therefore, not vaccinating dogs not only threatens the dog's life but also affects human health.
