3. Administer the vaccine.

  • Hold the needle or syringe at the base of the neck.
  • Gently inject the vaccine using a slow and steady motion.
  • Avoid touching or squeezing the skin around the injection site.
  • Offer the pet a treat or some praise after the vaccination.

4. Monitor the pet for any signs of discomfort or reaction.

  • Keep an eye on the pet for any signs of discomfort, such as swelling, redness, pain, or signs of infection.
