Vaccines are an important part of your pet’s health care. Vaccines keep your pet healthy and prevent serious diseases. We will make sure your pet avoids these serious diseases through a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s lifestyle, health, exposure to other animals in kennels and urban dog parks, your pet’s risk of preventable diseases and other individual circumstances.
The first Rabies shot your pet receives is good for 1 year. Subsequent canine Rabies vaccinations immunize your pet for 1 – 3 years depending upon the vaccine your dog receives. [Most states require dogs to have a current rabies vaccination.](https://www.avma.org/Advocacy/StateAndLocal/Pages/rabies-vaccination.aspx) For cats, we use feline-exclusive rabies vaccines which are good for 1 year.
We recommend waiting until your pet is at least 4-6 months of age before seeking a spay or neuter procedure. Contact us to discuss specific details based on species, breed, and size. Spaying/neutering leads to health and behavior benefits for your pet, and of course helps prevent overpopulation.
Annual or Wellness exams are much more important than just receiving vaccines. During an annual exam, your pet will have all of its body systems thoroughly checked for any potential current or arising issues. There may be subtle changes to your pet’s health that your veterinarian will be able to discover during an exam well before your pet shows any symptoms. Your pet’s wellness exam is also a great time to discuss any questions you have about your pet’s age or nutritional status with your veterinarian.
Our in-house store has a selection of medications and therapeutic diets for your family pet. Our staff members can help you select the best medication, determine the proper dosage, and provide information on side effects or interactions. Contact us immediately if your pet experiences an adverse reaction, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding a medication.
Heartworm disease is a serious disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes and can be fatal if left untreated. Our veterinarians recommend that all dogs be given year-round heartworm prevention, regardless of their lifestyle.
Dogs can become extremely sick if placed on heartworm prevention while they have a severe heartworm disease. Even if they have been on heartworm prevention year round, there is always the possibility that the product may have failed for various reasons (your pet spit out the pill, did not absorb the pill appropriately, topical medicine was not applied properly, forgot to administer medication on time, etc.) and the earlier we can treat your pet for heartworm disease, the better the prognosis. Some companies will guarantee their product providing that you use the heartworm prevention year round and are performing a yearly heartworm test.
No. Heartworm disease is a blood-borne disease that is transmitted through mosquitoes. A routine blood test will confirm whether or not your dog has heartworm disease.
