Why Vaccinations Matter
Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of responsible pet ownership. They help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and protect your pet from serious illnesses that can be costly to treat and, in some cases, fatal. By staying up-to-date on your pet’s vaccinations, you not only safeguard their health but also contribute to the overall well-being of the pet community.
Canine Vaccination Requirements
For dogs staying at our facility, the following vaccinations are required:
- DAPP/DAPP+L: Protects against Distemper, Leptospirosis, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus
- Bordetella: Guards against Kennel Cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection
- Rabies: Required by law and protects against this deadly virus
If your pet is not up to date on any of the required vaccines, they will need to be brought up to date at the owner’s expense, unless our Veterinarian decides otherwise.
Feline Vaccination Requirements
Cats staying at Northwood Animal Hospital must have the following vaccinations:
- FVRCP: Shields against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia
- Rabies: Protects against Rabies, which is transmissible to humans and other animals
Our veterinarians will tailor a vaccination schedule specific to your pet’s needs, taking into account their lifestyle, age, and risk factors. We aim to provide a personalized approach to pet care, ensuring that each pet receives the necessary protection without over-vaccination.
