Most animals need only what are known as core vaccines: those that protect against the most common and most serious diseases.

In dogs, the core vaccines are distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis and rabies.

In cats, they are panleukopenia, calicivirus, rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus), and rabies as required by law.

Primary vaccination is essential in order to prevent the once common deadly puppy diseases. However, recent research indicates that not all vaccines require yearly boosters. There is no evidence that annual booster vaccination is anything but beneficial to the majority of dogs.
