Why Should I Vaccinate My Pet?
Vaccinations are an important preventative measure against serious illnesses or diseases that may affect your pet’s well-being. Vaccines for dogs and cats work similarly to vaccines in humans where they expose your pet to a small or inactive amount of a specific virus or bacteria to help strengthen their immune system in case they ever encounter the virus or bacteria elsewhere. Vaccinating your pet can also protect your human family members from zoonotic diseases, which are those that can be passed from animals to humans.
Vaccinations We Recommend
Our knowledgeable team at Prairie Animal Hospital can recommend the appropriate vaccinations for your pet based on their age, health, and lifestyle. We offer essential vaccines known as “core” vaccines for dogs and cats and lifestyle or “non-core” vaccines which are recommended based on your pet’s risk of exposure.
