Thanks to advances in veterinary care, pets today can enjoy longer, healthier lives, largely due to vaccines that protect them from life-threatening infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines have saved millions of pets, virtually eliminating certain fatal diseases that were once widespread. However, many infectious diseases still pose a serious risk to unvaccinated dogs and cats. While vaccine programs have been highly successful and are now considered routine, it’s important that we, as caregivers, and you, as pet parents, stay diligent in keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.
There are many vaccines available for dogs and cats, but not every pet needs every vaccine. Core vaccines, which are essential for all pets, should be administered to every animal, while other vaccines are optional and may be recommended based on factors like exposure risk. Vaccine recommendations may also change over time, depending on your pet’s lifestyle, travel habits, and other circumstances. We’ll take all of these factors into account when determining which vaccines are right for your pet.
We understand that each pet is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all vaccine program. Our team is well-informed about veterinary vaccines, and our goal is to provide you with the best guidance to keep your pet healthy. Together, we’ll create a personalized vaccination schedule and booster routine that suits your pet’s needs, considering their health, risk of disease exposure, and lifestyle.
Vaccines are a key factor in helping pets live longer, healthier lives, and protecting your pet is our top priority. We’re here to help you develop the best vaccine plan for your pet. Call us today to schedule an appointment and discuss your pet’s vaccination needs.
