Like human beings, animals deserve protection and care. You can show your love to them by protecting them. And you can protect your animals by having them vaccinated from diseases, namely—dogs against rabies; cattle, carabaos and sheep against Hemorrhagic Septicaemia; and poultry from Newcastle Disease. What follows are the said diseases and their symptoms.

Rabies. A highly fatal, zoonotic viral disease, rabies attacks dogs, cats, bats and wild carnivores. Moreover, all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to rabies. Rabies is transmitted from animal to animal through a bite, which introduces virus-bearing saliva. Vaccinating your dogs provides them blanket protection from rabies and protects human health through the control of animal diseases transmissible to humans.

Hemorrhagic septicaemia. Usually affecting cattle including carabaos, goats and sheep, hemorrhagic septicaemia is indicated by these signs and symptoms—depression, anorexia, serious nasal discharge, cough, fever, increased pulse rate and rapid shallow respiration. Hemosep vaccination provides immunity to cattle including carabaos, sheep and goats.

Newcastle Disease. An acute, rapidly spreading viral disease of poultry in which coughing sneezing or rales are often accompanied or followed by nervous manifestations and infections with some strains, by diarrhoea and swelling of the head. Vaccination will provide your birds blanket protection from the said disease.
