Join us in this enlightening episode as we dive deep into the critical world of pet vaccinations with Dr. Lori Teller, a seasoned veterinarian from Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine. From the importance of vaccinating our furry friends to the intricate details of diseases they protect against, this discussion is packed with invaluable insights.


Lori shares her expertise on vaccines, discussing why they are essential for preventing serious diseases like rabies and leptospirosis, both of which can affect pets and humans alike. We tackle the burning questions: What are the side effects? Why do some vaccines require annual boosters while others last for years? And how do we ensure our pets are safe during the vaccination process?


The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes, including the chilling realities of leptospirosis and the importance of keeping our pets up to date on their vaccinations. We explore the nuances of puppy vaccination schedules, the role of titers, and the myths surrounding vaccine reactions.
