We used ShotVet today to get my dog a rabies vaccine, I noticed the vaccine color was reddish when they were injecting it into the back leg of my dog. Is ShotVet reputable? Is my dog okay? Was the vaccine of good quality?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It’s great that you’re keeping a close eye on your dog’s health! ShotVet is generally a reputable service that aims to provide quality vaccines to pets. The reddish color you noticed in the rabies vaccine isn’t unusual. Some vaccines have slight color variations depending on the manufacturer, but this doesn’t typically affect their safety or efficacy.



After a vaccination, it’s not uncommon for dogs to experience mild side effects. Keep an eye on your pup for signs like soreness at the injection site, slight swelling, or mild lethargy. These should resolve within a day or two. You can help your dog feel more comfortable by ensuring they rest and have access to plenty of water.



However, watch for signs of a more serious reaction, such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or significant swelling. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.



Overall, it sounds like your dog is in good hands, but if you have lingering concerns or notice anything unusual, a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet might provide peace of mind and further guidance.
