Vaccines play a critical role in the prevention of many types of disease. When used appropriately, vaccines prevent several types of potentially fatal bacterial and/or viral diseases. In general, vaccines are well tolerated by all animals and help to provide a healthy, safe, and long life for your pet.
Beginning during the puppy and kitten phase, vaccines help to boost the immune system of your pet. By beginning vaccines at this young age, you are more likely to decrease the chance of your puppy or kitten becoming sick from a preventable disease. Once your pet has reached adulthood, we will assist you in a vaccination program depending on you pets environment and daily life.
