Vaccines

Vaccinations are a crucial part to ensuring your pet’s health and have been proven to save the lives of countless animals. Staying up to date with your pet’s shots can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, that can often lead to serious and/or fatal consequences. The symptoms can be painful and could lead to other long-term effects.

Dog Vaccines:
DA2PP (core) - A combination vaccine for your dog that protects against four primary canine diseases - distemper, adenovirus-2, parainfluenza and parvovirus. Because these diseases can be deadly and do not have cures, regular vaccination is recommended to reduce your pet's risk.

Leptospirosis (lifestyle) - Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can cause severe kidney or liver failure in both dogs and people. Dogs typically contract leptospirosis through direct contact with urine from an infected animal (skunks, racoons etc.) by licking or eating grass, and drinking from a puddle or body of water.

Rabies (core) - Your dog must be vaccinated at the age of 3 months and kept up-to-date throughout their life, as it is the only vaccine required by law. Rabies can be transmitted to other animals and people through a scratch or a bite that breaks skin.

Bordetella (lifestyle) - The Bordetella vaccine is given to dogs that are exposed to other dogs in social settings. Canine facilities, such as dog daycare centers, boarding kennels, shows, dog parks, and training classes often require dogs to have the vaccine. This is because Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common bacterial agent responsible for kennel cough in dogs.

Cat Vaccines:
FVRCP (core) - A combination vaccine for your cat that protects against three primary diseases - feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus), calicivirus, and panleukopenia (feline distemper). Because these viruses have the potential to be fatal, regular vaccination is recommended to reduce your pet's risk.

Leukemia (lifestyle) - Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a virus that infects only cats, depresses the immune system and tends to lead to persistent infection. Although the FeLV vaccine is not considered a core vaccine in adult indoor cats, it is highly recommended for cats that spend time outdoors. There is no treatment to eliminate the FeLV virus from the body, and the disease is ultimately fatal, therefore, preventing infection with FeLV through vaccination is highly recommended.

Rabies (core) - Your cat must be vaccinated at the age of 3 months and kept up-to-date throughout their life, as it is the only vaccine required by law. Rabies can be transmitted to other animals and people through a scratch or a bite that breaks skin.
