If the dog is healthy, subsequent vaccinations can be terminated. However, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that full vaccination is safer.
2.What are the side effects of vaccines?According to social media statistics in the past 10 days, about 15% of users reported that they developed low-grade fever or fatigue after vaccination, which usually relieved within 2 days. The probability of severe allergic reaction is less than 0.01%.
4. Preventive measures and pet training suggestions
1. Cut your pet’s nails regularly to avoid accidental injuries during play. 2. Keep your distance when recognizing signs of dog anxiety (such as ears sticking behind, frequent nose licking). 3. Adult supervision is required when children interact with pets to avoid dangerous actions such as tail pulling.
5. Precautions for legal rights protection
If someone else's pet is injured, the following evidence needs to be retained: - Photos/videos of the scene - Medical records and payment vouchers - Eyewitness contact information Recent court cases show that owners of unleashed dogs are responsible for more than 80% of the compensation.
In case of emergency, please immediately call the local CDC or go to the dog injury clinic of a designated hospital. During the hot summer period (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), the incidence of pet attacks is 40% higher than on normal days, so special precautions are required.
