Actually, the site I visited did say they could be used on animals, so that is why I mentioned them. I did visit another site that gave this information.
The DA2LPP (6 in 1) vaccine protects our cats from the following six diseases:

Distemper - A widespread, and often fatal disease, which can cause diarrhea, fever, pneumonia, seizures, and a discharge from the eyes and nose.
Infectious Canine Hepatitis – A virus that affects the dogs liver. It spreads through an infected dog's urine or other secretions and exposure can mean anything from a mild infection to severe kidney damage or death.
Adnovirus type 2 & Parainfluenza - Viruses that cause canine cough or tracheobronchitis, an upper respiratory infection that causes a persistent, dry, hacking cough.
Leptospirosis - A bacterial infection which often leads to permanent kidney damage. It is very contagious to other dogs and to humans. It is spread through contact with nasal secretions, urine or saliva of infected animals.
Parvovirus - A widespread, highly contagious life threatening virus. Symptoms may include fever, depression, and loss of appetite, severe gastrointestinal distress, dehydration, shock & possibly death. Transmission occurs through direct or indirect contact with infected feces. The virus is particularly resistant and can persist within the environment for many months
There are also vaccinations that protect our dogs from the following diseases:

Coronavirus – A highly contagious viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract which causes vomiting and diarrhea.
Bordetella – A bacteria that infects the upper respiratory tract causing canine cough or tracheobronchitis. Can lead to pneumonia. Symptoms include a persistent, dry, hacking cough.
Rabies - A fatal infection of the central nervous system that can affect all mammals, including man. The virus is transmitted from animal to animal and animal to man primarily through the bite of an infected animal. Routine vaccination is the key to controlling this dreaded disease.
Lyme Disease - A complex illness that affects wild and domestic animals, as well as humans. Caused by a bacterium carried by the Western Black Legged Tick and the Deer Tick. Symptoms include fever, arthritis, severe pain and lameness.
Giardia - A parasite that lives in cold, wet environments and is transmitted through water sources contaminated with animal feces. Giardia causes diarrhea and weight loss. Young animals and animals with compromised immune systems are at the highest risk. Dogs that drink from streams, rivers or puddles that have been contaminated with feces of other animals (hunting dogs, farm dogs, camping), and dogs kenneled in high density kennels (shelters, breeding kennels, shows) are also at high risk.
