All residents living within
the city of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson are by law required
to license their pets. People residing in the unincorporated area of Clark
County are no longer required to have a pet license. In order to obtain a
license for your pet you must have a current Rabies certificate. Other
vaccines are strongly recommended for the protection and health of your
pet as well as other animals he may come in contact with, i.e. grooming
and boarding facilities, and dog parks, etc.
Puppies and kittens receive important nutrients and antibodies from their
mothers' milk while they are nursing. However, once they are weaned, this
passive form of protection is lost. It is at this point in their life that
a vaccination program should be started. Vaccines offer protection against
major viral and bacterial diseases that cats and dogs may be exposed to.
Pets are susceptible to disease at any age, and it's very important to
have your young kitten or puppy vaccinated for maximum protection.
Your veterinarian will set up a vaccination program for your pet to
provide protection for the diseases of concern in your area. Kittens and
puppies often require an initial vaccination with follow-up booster shots
to ensure they are well protected against diseases. Vaccines are designed
to provide disease protection for a limited amount of time, often one
year. So it's important to take your pet for an exam every year with your
veterinarian, which will likely include their annual vaccinations.
Vaccinations in young animals are a necessary building block in the
foundation of your pet's immune system. Following a proper vaccination
schedule will help to ensure that you are doing your part to keep your new
friend healthy.
