Why Vaccinations Matter for Your Dog or Cat

Keeping your dog or cat up-to-date on all vaccinations and immunizations is a must; after all, these vaccinations help to protect your pet from any number of illnesses and diseases—some of which (such as rabies) could otherwise pose a threat not only to your pet, but to your family as well. Not to mention, some vaccinations are required if you want to be able to take your dog to a dog park or bring your cat/dog into a facility to be boarded while you're away. Proof of these vaccinations will be required for the protection of all pets at the facility.

Recommended Vaccinations and Immunizations

Depending on the type of pet you have, its age, and its risk factors for various medical conditions, our doctor may recommend different vaccinations and immunizations. For most pets, however, vaccinations for distemper, rabies, parvovirus, and even feline herpes are recommended as "core" vaccines. The frequency with which these vaccines should be given can also vary based on how old your pet is and the specific type of vaccine used. For example, some rabies vaccines are good for three years, whereas others may need to be given every year in order to remain effective. The same goes for some distemper vaccines—especially those for cats.

In addition to core vaccines, our Edmonton vet may also recommend other vaccinations or immunizations based on where you live and specific risk factors that may have an impact on your pet's health. Each time your pet comes in for a wellness exam, we'll review their vaccine schedule with you and make sure everything is up-to-date. If not, we can administer vaccinations at the end of your pet's appointment right here in our office.
