Most pet owners will do anything they can to keep their pets as healthy as possible. One of the aspects of preventative care that Amigo Animal Hospital provides is vaccinations for your pet. Our facility serves residents of Westminster, Seal Beach, and Huntington Beach, CA. We provide vaccines for your pets to ensure that they are protected against dangerous diseases year-round.
Vaccines Prevent the Spread of Disease
One reason why it's important to vaccinate your pet is to prevent diseases that can spread at any time of year. Severe infections can spread from animal to animal or from animal to human. Here are some of the illnesses that vaccines are used to protect against:
- For dogs: rabies, canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis (core vaccines)
- For cats: rabies, feline distemper, feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus (core vaccines)
These are core vaccines that all pets need to get. These diseases can quickly spread in environments where animals are near others. As pets are naturally curious creatures, it's important to protect them as they venture outside.
Vaccines Keep Your Pet Healthy
It's your responsibility to take action to promote long-term health for your pets. One aspect of this is making sure your pet gets vaccinated as needed throughout the year. Various vaccines should be considered for pets, and knowing which ones to get at the right time can be difficult. For that reason, we always encourage talking with our vet about setting up a vaccination schedule. Regular vaccines will ultimately provide stimulation to your pet’s immune system to help combat against potentially deadly diseases that pets get exposed to.
Other important aspects of preventative care for your pet include flea and tick prevention and heartworm prevention. Our veterinary team provides medicines and other methods of protection.
