DOG HEALTH RECORD

Your dog's health is maintained by regular exercise, good nutrition, care, and grooming. Your veterinarian can give vaccinations to prevent disease and can help with sickness, accidents or special problems.

Though a few localities do not have an ordinance requiring rabies vaccinations, if you intend to participate with your dog in dog practices or exhibitions, a currently effective rabies vaccination is required. This requirement is for the protection of all people and dogs involved. Distemper, Hepatitis, and Leptospirosis (DHL) vaccinations, plus Parvo Virus, are strongly recommended.

|Is vaccination of rabies required in your locality? | |

|What proof do you have that each vaccination is currently valid? | |
