Vaccinations
Ensuring the vaccination of your beloved pet is essential for protecting them against various diseases. The veterinary specialists at Mariners Mile Pet Clinic can formulate a personalized vaccination and immunization plan tailored to your pet's health status, age, and lifestyle risks.
There are two primary categories of vaccinations your pet may require:
Core Vaccines
Core vaccinations are considered essential for every pet, regardless of their lifestyle.
Canine Vaccines:
- Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus (DAP): Guards against highly contagious viral diseases in dogs.
- Rabies: Essential for preventing this lethal viral disease that affects all mammals, including humans.
- Parainfluenza and Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended, especially for dogs in social environments or boarding facilities.
Feline Vaccines:
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia (FVRCP): Shields against common respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
- Rabies: Crucial for preventing this fatal disease in cats and mitigating its transmission to humans.
Non-Core Vaccines
Depending on your pet's lifestyle, additional vaccines may be advised:
Canine Non-Core Vaccines:
- Leptospirosis Vaccine: Provides protection against bacterial infections that can impact the kidneys and liver.
- Lyme Disease Vaccine: Advisable for pets residing in regions with an elevated likelihood of encountering ticks carrying the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.
- Canine Influenza (CIV) Vaccine: Guards against the highly contagious respiratory infection caused by canine influenza viruses, helping to prevent the spread of the disease among dogs.
- Rattlesnake Bite Prevention Vaccine: Offers defense against the potentially deadly effects of rattlesnake bites by providing immunity to venom, reducing the severity of symptoms and improving the chances of a positive outcome in case of an encounter with a rattlesnake.
Feline Non-Core Vaccines:
- Feline Leukemia (FeLV): Advised for outdoor cats or those in multi-cat households
Non-core vaccinations are determined through a thorough assessment of your pet's health condition and potential exposure to diseases, customized to fit your pet's unique lifestyle.
