Core Vaccinations for Dogs and Cats
Regular vaccinations strengthen your pet’s immune system, arming them against serious diseases and helping them to ward off infections.
Non-Core Vaccinations Based on Your Pet's Lifestyle
Not all pets have the same needs. Non-core vaccines are given based on your pet's lifestyle, such as whether they're outdoors a lot or socializing with other animals. For cats, we often recommend the FeLV vaccine to guard against feline leukemia. Dogs might need Bordetella and canine influenza vaccines, especially if they frequent dog parks or visit the boarding kennel during the holidays.
Discussing your pet's vaccine needs with your veterinarian is crucial! Even indoor pets can face risks and should be vaccinated to ensure their safety. Our team in New Port Richey, FL is here to offer personalized advice based on your pet's specific needs.
The Lifesaving Benefit of Microchipping
Microchipping is a straightforward procedure that can significantly increase the chances of reuniting with your pet if they ever get lost. The microchip, as small as a grain of white rice, is implanted under your pet's skin and carries a unique ID number. This number can be scanned at any veterinary office or animal shelter, providing a permanent form of identification that lasts forever and won't get lost like collars or tags.
