Vaccinations
Dog and cat vaccinations give your pet’s immune system an important boost so they can be better protected from harmful diseases like rabies, parvo, distemper, and Lyme disease. Dogs and cats alike can be vulnerable to infection if they are not vaccinated, so it’s best to talk with our veterinarians about which vaccines your pet needs, and how frequently they will need them. dog and cat vaccinations are the best form of disease prevention available, and we recommend them for all of our patients.
Can Vaccines Make My Dog or Cat Sick?
If you are concerned about possible side-effects when having your dog or cat vaccinated, you are not alone. We know how important it is to use the safest vaccines available and to make sure your pet isn’t receiving vaccinations they don’t need. While some pets can react to their vaccines, this is rare. Furthermore, we structure every pet’s vaccine schedule to only include those that are necessary for their lifestyle.
