Preventative care is important to maintain your pet’s health. Vaccination is vital in protecting them against harmful diseases.

Preventing illness is fundamental to keeping your pet healthy. Vaccinations play a crucial role in safeguarding your pet, shielding them from diseases and potential health issues.

Why are vaccinations important?

Vaccinations are vital to the health and protection of your pet and serve as a preventive measure in combating viral diseases like Parvovirus, Parainfluenza virus, Distemper, Lyme, Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia Virus and Rabies.

When Should I Vaccinate my Pet?

Vaccinations are particularly important for puppies, kittens, and other young animals that have immature immune systems. Veterinary vaccinations generally begin at 6-8 weeks of age and are then boosted throughout your pet’s life depending on the vaccine. Our veterinary doctors will determine the appropriate vaccination plan for your pet.

How are Pet Vaccines Administered?

Vaccines help to combat diseases by exposing the pet’s immune system to inactive or small amounts of a particular form of bacteria or virus. Vaccines are administered through a subcutaneous injection (under the skin), orally, or intra-nasally, depending on the vaccine. Vaccinations are accompanied by a consultation and examination to make certain that your pet’s condition is stable enough to receive them. Proper and timely administration is necessary to ensure optimal protection.
