Vaccines
Thankfully due to vaccinating we do not see as many cases of major infectious diseases in our pets. Your pet can be protected against most major infectious diseases. Today, immunizations and preventative medicines are available that did not exist a decades ago.
Vaccines are useful in preventing canine distemper, parvovirus, Bordetella, rabies, Lyme disease, and other diseases in your dog and feline leukemia, panleukopenia, rabies, and feline immunodeficiency virus in cats.
Our staff can assist you in deciding which preventative measures are necessary for your pet.
