Wellness and Vaccinations

Comprehensive Pet Vaccination Information

At Central Animal Hospital, we emphasize the significance of preventative care in maintaining your pet's well-being. Protecting your beloved companion from various diseases is a top priority, and vaccinations play a pivotal role in achieving this goal.

Why Vaccinations Matter

Vaccinations are an essential part of your pet's healthcare journey, serving as a vital defense against a range of potentially devastating viral diseases. These diseases include Parvovirus, Parainfluenza virus, Distemper, Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia Virus, and Rabies.

The Timing of Vaccinations

Vaccinations are particularly crucial for puppies, kittens, and young animals with developing immune systems. The vaccination process typically begins when your pet is 6-8 weeks old and continues with boosters throughout their life. Except some vaccines like Bordetella and Leukemia, most vaccine boosters are done every 3 years.

Administering Vaccines

Vaccines work by introducing your pet's immune system to inactive or small amounts of specific bacteria or viruses. The administration method varies depending on the vaccine's nature. Vaccines can be given via subcutaneous injection (under the skin), orally, or intra-nasally, as deemed appropriate for the specific vaccine.

Every vaccination at our clinic includes a thorough consultation and examination conducted by our skilled staff. This comprehensive approach ensures that your pet is in a stable condition to receive vaccinations and guarantees the optimal level of protection.
