Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of proactive preventative care. Our vaccination programs are designed to protect your pet from preventable – and potentially deadly – illness.

While any medical treatment involves some degree of risk, in the case of vaccinations, the benefits far outweigh any potential side effects. Adverse reactions are rare and usually mild and short-term when they do occur.

Which vaccines should your pet have? Core vaccines are those recommended—and possibly mandated by law—for most pets. Core vaccines include:

Rabies (dogs and cats)
DA2PPV – Distemper, Hepatitis, Adenovirus 2, Parvo and Parainfluenza (dogs)
FVRCP – Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia (cats)
Leptospirosis

Other non-core, but highly suggested vaccinations for cats include FIV for feline immunodeficiency virus and FeLV to protect against feline leukemia. For dogs, bordetella and canine influenza shots are recommended if they frequent dog parks, boarding kennels or any place where they’re socializing with other canines.

It’s also important to note that even pets who live primarily indoors should be vaccinated, as they can still be exposed to disease. Your pets deserve the very best care and we’re here to deliver that! Call us today at (682) 282-5888 to learn more about how we can help your pet stay happy and healthy.
