Vaccinations and How They Impact Your Pet
We all love our pets, and most people think of their furry friends as members of the family. That's why it's so important to make sure your pet is vaccinated against potentially deadly diseases. Vaccinations are one of the best ways to protect your pet from becoming sick, and they're also a legal requirement in most areas.
At 1st Ave Animal Hospital in Vancouver BC, our vet can ensure you're up to date with crucial pet vaccines. We'll make sure to administer the right vaccines at the right time for maximum effectiveness.
The Importance of Pet Vaccination
- Vaccines protect against deadly diseases: They can help your pet avoid contracting Parvovirus, Rabies, and other dangerous illnesses.
- Vaccinations help you save money: Vaccinating your pet against common diseases can not only keep them healthy, but it can also help prevent costly medical bills. The Parvovirus vaccine, for example, can help prevent thousands of dollars in veterinary bills because this disease can be expensive to treat.
Your pet's vaccinations are crucial to their health, but it's not enough simply to give them a few shots. To be fully protected, your pet must receive the correct vaccines at the correct times in their life. A veterinarian from our animal hospital can help you determine the most suitable times to vaccinate your precious animal for maximum and effective protection.
Core Vaccinations for Cats and Dogs
Core dog vaccinations are the basic vaccines all dogs should receive. They protect against potentially deadly diseases including Parvovirus, Distemper, Canine Hepatitis, and Rabies.
Core vaccines for cats may feline leukemia, and rabies. Rabies is a viral disease that can affect both dogs and cats. It's one of the few diseases that can be passed from animal to animal and animal to human. It can be transmitted through a bite, scratch, or an open cut in the skin.
Non-core vaccines, meanwhile, are typically given to dogs at risk of exposure or in regions where the threat of certain diseases is higher. If your furry friend has never been vaccinated, talk to a vet from our animal hospital to learn about all the options.
