Why Vaccinations Are Essential for Your Dog’s Health and Safety
At The Modern Dog, we believe every pup deserves a long, healthy, and happy life — and one of the most important steps toward that is keeping their vaccinations up to date. Just like humans, dogs rely on vaccines to build protection against dangerous and sometimes life-threatening diseases.
Core vaccines, such as Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus), protect against highly contagious illnesses that can spread quickly between dogs — especially in social settings like daycares, boarding facilities, or dog parks. Non-core vaccines, like Bordetella (kennel cough) or Leptospirosis, may also be recommended based on your dog’s lifestyle and environment. These vaccines not only protect your own dog but also help keep the entire community of dogs safe by reducing the risk of outbreaks.
Vaccines are simple, safe, and effective — and they can save your dog from painful and costly illnesses down the road. Our team requires up-to-date vaccination records for all daycare, boarding, and grooming guests to ensure a healthy, worry-free environment for everyone.
If your dog’s vaccinations aren’t current or you’re unsure which ones they need, talk to your veterinarian today. Keeping your dog protected is one of the best ways to show your love — and ensures that every visit to The Modern Dog is safe, fun, and full of tail wags.
At The Modern Dog we require that all dogs that are in Daycare or Boarding have up to date vaccines of Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus), and Bordetella (kennel cough)
