Canine Vaccinations
For dogs, we recommend vaccines including DAPP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza), Rabies, Bordetella, Canine Influenza, Lyme, and Leptospirosis.
DAPP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza)
This core vaccine protects against four highly contagious and serious viruses: distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, and parainfluenza. Distemper causes symptoms like respiratory infections, seizures, and fever. Adenovirus can result in severe liver disease, while parainfluenza can lead to respiratory infections. Parvovirus is particularly dangerous, leading to severe intestinal damage, dehydration, and anemia.
Rabies
Rabies is a virus spread through bites or contact with the saliva of infected animals. It poses a risk to all mammals, including humans, and is often transmitted by wildlife such as bats, skunks, and raccoons.
Bordetella
Bordetella is a bacterial pathogen that causes kennel cough, leading to fever, coughing, and nasal or ocular discharge in dogs.
Canine Influenza
Our canine influenza vaccine protects against two strains of the virus. Infected dogs may develop pneumonia quickly if left untreated.
Lyme
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted by ticks. Symptoms range from mild fever to lameness or kidney damage. This disease is prevalent in areas with high tick populations.
Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis spreads through the urine of infected animals and can damage the liver and kidneys. It is commonly found in urban areas with wildlife like foxes and raccoons.
Feline Vaccinations
For cats, we recommend vaccines such as Rabies, FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia), and FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus).
Rabies
Rabies is transmitted through bites or contact with saliva from infected animals and poses a risk to all mammals, including humans.
FVRCP
This vaccine protects against three highly contagious viral pathogens. Feline rhinotracheitis and calicivirus are respiratory illnesses, while panleukopenia causes severe gastrointestinal symptoms, fever, and dehydration, often leading to death.
FeLV
Feline leukemia virus spreads through contact with infected cats, causing anemia, chronic infections, and potentially leading to cancer.
