Vaccines work by stimulating your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases. Core vaccines protect against the most common and dangerous illnesses, while lifestyle vaccines provide additional protection based on your pet’s individual exposure risk. The core vaccines for dogs include rabies, distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, and parainfluenza. Cats require vaccines for panleukopenia, herpesvirus, calicivirus, and rabies. Our veterinarians evaluate your pet’s individual needs to create a customized vaccination schedule, which may include lifestyle vaccines like bordetella (kennel cough) or leptospirosis.
We follow current veterinary guidelines that take into account your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle. Puppies and kittens receive a series of vaccines to build initial immunity, while adult pets receive boosters at intervals determined by vaccine type and individual risk assessment. This approach ensures your companion stays protected without over-vaccination.
