Vaccine Considerations
As a responsible pet owner, you will need to make wise choices when it comes to your pet's vaccinations. Here are some things you should consider:
Legal Obligations
Depending on where you live, you may have legal obligations to stay on schedule with vaccinations. When you purchased or adopted your pet, you were likely instructed concerning your legal vaccine obligations. It is imperative that you stay compliant for the safety of your pet, your family, and others in your community.
Pet Longevity
Your pet's longevity will be highly dependent on his vaccine schedule. Diseases and viruses are leading causes of pet death. Your pet is a family member, and we know you want to do everything possible to ensure he lives a long and healthy life.
Community Health
In addition to the above-mentioned considerations, you should also keep in mind that every time an animal is properly vaccinated, it contributes to the overall health of your community. Unvaccinated animals in your community carry diseases and viruses that could pose a threat to animals and humans alike. Every pet owner that participates in animal vaccinations is contributing to better health in their community.
Vaccinations Concerns
Some pet owners have concerns about animal vaccines. We know you do not want to put anything in your pet's body that would harm him. The vaccines that are currently used for animals have been approved, tested, and used safely for years. If you have any questions or concerns about a certain vaccine, our veterinarian will be happy to sit down with you to answer your questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
Schedules Matter
Vaccinations are most effective when they are administered on the proper schedule. Our vet will be able to inform you about what the vaccine schedule is for your particular animal.
