Our hospital offers vaccination examinations because vaccinations are critical to the well-being of your pets. Vaccines protect against potentially deadly viral diseases like Distemper, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis and Rabies in dogs, and Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia Virus and Rabies in cats.

Dogs

Your dog’s lifestyle determines his risk levels for various diseases. Our doctors will individualize a vaccination plan for your dog based on his health and these risk factors. We offer a variety of vaccinations, including Core Vaccinations which consists of Rabies, Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus. We also offer Non-core vaccinations or “optional vaccinations” which are Lyme Vaccine, Leptospirosis vaccine and Bordetella vaccine.

Rabies Vaccination – Rabies is always fatal (in both animals and humans). Since there is no cure, prevention by vaccination is the only solution.

Cats

Adult cats need to be vaccinated yearly, whether they go outdoors or if they are strictly indoors only. This also provides an opportunity for the doctor to perform a physical exam on your cat.

FVRCP Vaccination – (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) This yearly vaccine protects and maintains your cat’s antibody levels to protect them from these common viral diseases.

Rabies Vaccination – Rabies is always fatal (in both animals and humans). Since there is no cure, prevention by vaccination is the only solution.

Feline Leukemia Vaccination – While it is more common in outdoor cats, Feline Leukemia it is often seen in indoor cats as well. Your cat is considered “at risk” for leukemia if he spends ANY time outdoors, supervised or not. We recommend vaccinating indoor cats as well to maintain high enough antibody levels to protect them in case they get outside, have to stay in the hospital or kennel, or you decide to adopt another cat.
