Vaccines and regular health exams are critical preventative care measures to help protect pets from potentially deadly infectious diseases like Distemper, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis and Rabies in dogs; and Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia Virus (FIV) and Rabies in cats. Vaccines protect pets from disease by exposing their body's immune system to inactive parts of a bacteria or virus. Our doctors will help you decide which vaccines are appropriate for your pet based on their risk factors. Proper administration and proper timing of vaccination is vital for proper protection.
Vaccination is particularly critical in young animals that have a naïve immune system. Vaccinations typically start at 6-8 weeks of age and finish around 16 weeks of age. Vaccinations are generally accompanied by a consultation with your pet's doctor to ensure your pet is healthy enough for the vaccines. Our hospital will let you know when your pet is due for booster vaccinations during their adult years.
