Why are vaccinations important for pets?

Answer 1

First, you need to specify what vaccine?

For example if you are referring for example to Rabies Vaccine, treated with Rabies vaccine well in advance of an encounter with a rabid (or possibly rabid, or rabies carrying) animal renders the dog virtually immune to rabies as long as the vaccinations are kept up to date.

If your dog encounters a skunk (which may or may not be rabid, but can carry rabies), or gets into a fight with another dog (which may or may not be rabid) the vaccine effectively eliminates the need to worry whether the dog has become infected by rabies, which would eventually drive the dog to madness, out of character aggression, and then death.

Likewise, in many municipalities, if your dog were to bite someone, proof that it has had its rabies vaccinations up to date will prevent the need to kill your dog to find out if it WAS rabid.

Generally there are two ways to identify a rabid dog once suspected. 1 - isolate it an watch for it to go mad and die, or 2 - test the brain tissue of the dog, which generally involves decapitation (removal of the dog's head), which in the case of a dog biting someone else, regardless of the circumstances, generally means the dog will be killed and tested, not simply observed without vaccinations.
