Importance of Pet Vaccinations

Vaccinations are essential to safeguard your pet against potentially life-threatening diseases. By stimulating the immune system to recognize and combat specific viruses or bacteria, vaccines offer effective protection and help prevent the spread of contagious diseases within the pet community.

Core Vaccines

  • Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus (DAP): Protects against highly contagious viral diseases affecting dogs.
  • Rabies: Essential for preventing this deadly viral disease that can affect all mammals, including humans.
  • Parainfluenza and Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended, especially for dogs in social environments or boarding facilities.
  • Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia (FVRCP): Protects against common respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
  • Rabies: Vital for preventing this fatal disease in cats and preventing its transmission to humans.
