CAT VACCINATIONS

Protect your cat from infectious diseases by maintaining a yearly vaccination schedule. Vaccinations stimulate your cat’s system to develop immunity. Because they prevent disease but they do not cure disease, the veterinarian must administer them BEFORE your cat is exposed and infected.

Specific vaccination schedules vary according to several factors: the age and health of your cat and conditions in your cat’s environment. We would be happy to help you plan a vaccination schedule so that your cat’s vaccinations are up to date.

KITTENS should receive their first vaccination between six and ten weeks of age. They also need to have additional vaccinations about three weeks after the first set. Kitten shots are not effective for life, so it is important to keep up with vaccinations through your cat’s life.

ADULT CATS need to receive booster vaccinations every year.

VACCINATIONS PROTECT YOUR CAT FROM MANY INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Some vaccinations are mixed so your cat does not have to receive separate shots for each disease. Example of such mixtures are FRCP which is a mixture to protect against Feline Panleukopenia (feline distemper) (F), Rhinotracheitis (R), Calicivirus (C) and Pneumonitis (P).

Feline Calicivirus is a serious feline respiratory infection                                                  

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a complex disease in cats caused by the feline infectious peritonitis virus.                                                                                                                                     

Feline Leukemia is a viral disease which can take several forms. Some cats have transient infections with few ill effects.                                                                                                               

Feline Panleukopenia also known as feline distemper, is among the most widespread of all cat diseases and is extremely contagious.                                                                                                        

Feline Pneumonitis is caused by the organism Chlamydia psittaci. Signs of Pneumonitis are similar to those of FVR and FCV (sneezing, fever, loss of appetite, nasal discharge, inflamed eyes).                                                                                                                                                            

Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR) is like the common cold in people, but it can cause serious problems for kittens and in older cats.                                                                                                   

Rabies, one of the world’s most publicized and feared diseases, is almost always fatal.

DOG VACCINATIONS

 

 

Protect your dog from infectious diseases by maintaining an up-to-date vaccination schedule. Vaccinations stimulate your dog’s system to develop immunity. Because they prevent disease but they do not cure disease, the veterinarian must administer them BEFORE your dog is exposed and infected.

Your dog’s vaccination schedule depends on the overall health of your dog and conditions in your dog’s environment. We would be happy to help you plan a vaccination schedule so that your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

PUPPIES should receive their first vaccination between six and eight weeks of age. They also need to have additional vaccinations about two weeks after the first set. Puppy shots are not effective for life, so it is important to keep up with vaccinations through your dog’s life.

ADULT DOGS need to receive booster vaccinations every year.

VACCINATIONS PROTECT YOUR DOG FROM MANY INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Some vaccinations are mixed so your dog does not have to receive separate shots for each disease. Example of such mixtures are DHLP-P which is a mixture to protect against Distemper (D), Infectious Hepatitis (H), Leptospirosis (L) Parainfluenza (P) and Parvo (P).

Canine Distemper is a widespread, often fatal disease.                                                                          

Canine Adenovirus type-1 and type-2 cause infectious hepatitis and respiratory infection, respectively.                                                                                                                                                  

Canine Bordetella (B. bronchiseptica) may contribute to kennel cough.                                          

Canine Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection which may lead to permanent kidney damage.       

Canine Parainfluenza is another cause of kennel cough.                                                                    

Canine Parvovirus is an often fatal disease of the intestinal tract.                                                      

Canine Coronavirus is a highly contagious intestinal disease causing vomiting and diarrhea in dogs of all ages.                                                                                                                                           

Rabies, one of the world’s most publicized and feared diseases, is almost always fatal.
