Pet Vaccination
Pine Castle Animal Care Center provides comprehensive pet vaccinations to safeguard your furry friends from a wide range of illnesses.
Why Pet Vaccinations are Essential
Keeping your pet protected against disease is essential for their overall health and longevity. Pet vaccinations play a crucial role in preventive care by preparing your pet’s immune system to fight off specific diseases.
Vaccines expose your pet to a harmless form of a pathogen, prompting their immune system to recognize and combat the disease if they are ever exposed.
Regular vaccinations not only protect your pet but also contribute to the broader community’s health by preventing the spread of contagious diseases.
Core Vaccinations for Pets
At Pine Castle Animal Care Center, we offer a range of core vaccinations for both dogs and cats:
- Dogs: Common core vaccines include those for rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis. Depending on your pet’s lifestyle, additional vaccines—such as those for kennel cough (Bordetella) and leptospirosis—may be recommended.
- Cats: Core vaccinations for cats typically include rabies, feline distemper (panleukopenia), feline calicivirus, and feline herpesvirus. Like dogs, some cats may need extra vaccinations based on their environment, like the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) vaccine.
Potential Side Effects and Care
Most pets only experience mild side effects after receiving vaccinations, including slight swelling at the injection site, lethargy, or a mild fever. These symptoms typically resolve themselves within a day or two.
However, if your pet shows signs of a severe allergic reaction—such as vomiting, diarrhea, or swelling—contact our clinic immediately. Our team is here to provide guidance and care whenever you need it.
