Vaccinations For Your Pet

Vaccinations Help Your Pet Avoid Serious Complications in the Future

Pets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before in part because of vaccines that help protect them from deadly infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases (Distemper, panleukopenia, Rabies, Parvoviral enteritis, etc) that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.

Many vaccines are available for use in dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, goats, and rabbits but not every pet needs every available vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease, boarding, grooming, dog parks, etc. Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet’s life ( boosters as a puppy or kitten, yearly vaccinations as a young pet and then three year vaccinations- or even titers as your pet matures), other variables like travel, boarding and grooming habits change. We will consider all these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have.

Request an Appointment

To request an appointment please call our offices directly! Due to the high volume of patients we see our schedule is often filled rapidly and thus we are unable to offer online appointment scheduling. For non-emergency scheduling we also offer a text number which is 772-675-1929. Our patient portal is also accessible through PetPro Connect, linking you to all of your pets reminders and giving you easy access to request prescription refills. This is available through invitation and upon request we will send you an email link to setup your account.

We understand that your pet is unique and that no single vaccine program will be ideal for every pet in every situation. Our doctors and other staff members are well-educated about vaccines, and our goal is to give you the best advice for keeping your pet healthy. Let us develop a vaccination schedule that accounts for your pet’s lifestyle, overall health, risk for exposure to disease, and any other important factors.

Vaccines help pets live longer, healthier lives. Protecting your pet is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccine schedule for your pet is important to us. Call us today to set up an appointment to discuss your pet’s vaccination needs.
