Starting when your new pet is about 4 weeks old, we will administer vaccinations. Prevention of disease by immunization is easy and quick, and we tailor the vaccinations your pet receives by taking into account his or her lifestyle and contact with other animals. For example, if you choose to board your dog, a preventive vaccine against bordetella, commonly known as kennel cough, is necessary.
Core vaccines for dogs include:
- Distemper
- Parvovirus
- Leptospirosis
- Rabies
- Bordetella
- Corona Virus
Core vaccines for cats are:
- Feline Calcivirus
- Feline Rhinotracheitis
- Feline panleukopenia viral diseases
- Rabies
