Vaccinations

Vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect pets from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases.

Core vaccines are recommended for all dogs and cats because they guard against illnesses that are common, highly contagious, or pose a risk to public health. These diseases can cause severe illness and, in some cases, can be fatal.

• For dogs, core vaccines include rabies and a 4-way combo that includes distemper, adenovirus (hepatitis), and parvovirus.
• For cats, core vaccines include rabies and a 3-way combo that includes feline panleukopenia, feline herpesvirus, and calicivirus.
• Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations during their first few months of life to build strong immunity, followed by regular booster vaccinations as recommended by your
  veterinarian.

Keeping your pet current on core vaccines not only protects their health but also helps prevent the spread of disease within our community. We recommend you work with your family veterinarian to develop a vaccination plan tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and individual needs, ensuring they receive the best possible protection throughout their lives.
