Vaccinations

Vaccinations

To preserve your pet’s health long-term, it’s imperative to protect them from contagious diseases through up-to-date vaccinations. When your pet interacts with other animals whether in parks, grooming facilities or during play dates, they are at risk of the transmission of viruses which lead to the development of diseases. The good news is that these diseases are completely preventable! The following are typical schedules of vaccinations and reproductive surgery for cats and dogs.

Kitten Vaccinations

In their first year, your kitten needs these shots to protect them from serious diseases. 

  • Rhinotracheitis, Calcivirus, Panleukopenia

  • Feline Leukemia  (recommended for outdoor cats)
  • Booster: Rhinotracheitis, Calcivirus, Panleukopenia,

While these are not vaccinations, spaying, neutering and microchipping help prevent your cat from encountering many health issues.

FAQ

Pet owners should consult with their veterinarian to determine the best age to spay or neuter their cat or dog. Some research indicates there may be long-term health benefits to spaying or neutering dogs after they have passed through puberty. 

Many veterinary professionals recommend that female animals be spayed before their first heat, which can occur as early as 5 months of age. However, there is increasing evidence that this is too young as the animals have not been allowed to fully develop and grow.

Wellness exams are critical to helping your pet maintain good long-term physical health. 

Combined with regular vaccinations, parasite prevention and proper nutrition, these routine examinations include regular physical check-ups to give your pet the best chance at excellent lifelong health. 

When you bring your pet in for their regular check-up, we can prevent health issues from developing in your pet, or catch them early on, when they are most treatable.

Our pets can develop periodontal disease or tooth decay as a consequence of poor oral health. 

Just like in humans, when animals eat, plaque sticks to their teeth and can build up into tartar if not brushed away regularly. 

This can lead to infections in the mouth, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and even loose or missing teeth. That’s why regular dental care is essential to preventing pain or disease in the gums.
