Vaccines & Vitality: Keeping Your Pet Healthy and Protected

In honor of National Immunization Awareness Month, we’re joined by Donie Yamamoto, CEO and Founder of Vital Pet Life, and Dr. Amber Da Silva, DVM, team veterinarian, to explore why vaccinating your pets is one of the most important things you can do for their health and yours. From deadly viruses like rabies, parvo, and distemper to common concerns about side effects and vaccine schedules, this episode breaks down everything you need to know to keep your furry family members protected.

💉 You’ll learn what makes rabies especially dangerous, why new pet owners should pay attention, and how rabies risks differ in the U.S. and worldwide. Find out when to start vaccinating puppies and kittens, and why senior pets still benefit from certain vaccines. Plus, you'll be surprised as Dr. Amber shares what other animals are getting vaccines, besides dogs and cats.

📌 Fun fact: Hawaii remains the only rabies-free state—tune in to hear why that matters!

🐾 Whether you're a first-time pet parent or a longtime animal lover, this episode is packed with insights to help you make informed decisions about your pet’s health.
