Let’s walk through a few of the typical diseases to look for with your dog.  The first one we will discuss is Rabies.  Rabies is a very deadly virus that can harm all mammals by attacking the nervous system.  Although this disease has been almost entirely eradicated in parts of Europe, the US still has it’s share of infected dogs and other animals.  Your puppy should be vaccinated when about 3 months old.  Every 1-3 years a booster shot should be given to keep up with Rabies protection. The next disease to look out for with your dog is called Canine Distempor.  This often fatal disease causes major problems to the respiration, intestine, and nervous system.
