Non-core vaccines, like <strong data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"672\">Bordetella (kennel cough)<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"693\">Leptospirosis<\/strong>, may also be recommended based on your dog\u2019s 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.<\/p><p data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1176\">Vaccines are simple, safe, and effective \u2014 and they can save your dog from painful and costly illnesses down the road.
