Vaccinations
We follow preventive care and vaccination guidelines set forth by the American Animal Hospital Association. Vaccines are very safe and well-tolerated by most animals, and the benefits of vaccination almost always outweigh any small risk.
If your pet has a history of vaccine reactions in the past, however, we are happy to work with you to create a protocol that best protects your pet’s health while still ensuring they maintain adequate immunity. Our doctors do offer vaccine titer testing upon request.
General canine vaccines include:
- Rabies
- Parvovirus (a very severe gastrointestinal virus)
- Distemper (a highly contagious, often-fatal virus that causes respiratory and neurologic signs)
- Adenovirus (a disease affecting the liver)
- Leptospirosis (a bacteria found in the environment that causes severe kidney and liver damage)
Risk-based (conditional) canine vaccines include:
- Kennel cough (Parainfluenza and Bordetella; usually required for boarding purposes)
- Influenza (we offer both the H3N8 and the H3N2 strains)
- Lyme disease (a tick-borne disease that can cause serious illness)
