Pet Vaccinations

Vaccinations are vital to preventing a variety of diseases that can affect both dogs and cats. Just like humans, pets are susceptible to infections that can be life-threatening. Vaccinations protect your pet from these diseases, ensuring that they remain healthy, happy, and active. Regular vaccinations are crucial to preventing illnesses such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia, which can have severe health consequences for your pet if left untreated.

The timing of vaccinations varies depending on your pet’s age, breed, and health status. Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations starting at around 6 to 8 weeks of age, with booster shots administered every few weeks until they reach a certain age. Adult dogs and cats require annual or triennial vaccinations, depending on the type of vaccine. Our veterinarian at PetLove Veterinary Hospital can provide a tailored vaccination schedule for your pet based on their specific needs.

At PetLove Veterinary Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of vaccinations for both dogs and cats to protect them from common and serious diseases. For dogs, core vaccinations include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus, while non-core vaccinations may include leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and kennel cough. For cats, core vaccines include rabies, feline distemper (panleukopenia), and feline herpesvirus, while non-core vaccines may include feline leukemia and chlamydia.

During your pet’s annual exam, our veterinarian will assess your pet’s health and determine which vaccinations are necessary. We will also discuss any additional vaccinations that may be recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

A regular pet exam is an essential part of your pet’s healthcare routine. During these exams, our veterinarian will not only administer any necessary vaccinations but also evaluate your pet’s overall health. Regular check-ups allow us to detect potential health issues early, ensuring that your pet stays on the path to a long and healthy life. Vaccinations are often administered during these exams, providing a convenient way to keep your pet’s immunizations up to date.
