Vaccines fall into two main categories: core vaccines recommended for all pets and lifestyle vaccines tailored to specific risk factors. Core vaccines for dogs typically include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis. For cats, core vaccines generally cover rabies, panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus. Lifestyle vaccines protect against diseases your pet might encounter based on their environment and activities. Some of the most common lifestyle vaccines include Bordetella and Lyme disease.
