Vaccinations

Preventative care is an important aspect in maintaining your pet’s health. Proper vaccination is vital in protecting them against harmful diseases.

Overview

We believe that preventative care is one of the most important aspects of maintaining your pet’s health. We provide vaccinations for ferrets (Rabies and Distemper), foxes (rabies), and raccoons (rabies).

When should my pet get vaccinated?

Vaccinations are particularly important for young animals that have immature immune systems. Veterinary vaccinations generally begin at 6-8 weeks of age and then boostered through your pet’s life depending on the vaccine. Our doctors will determine the appropriate vaccination plan for your pet.

How are vaccines administered?

Vaccines help to combat diseases by exposing the pet's immune system to inactive or small amounts of a particular form of bacteria or virus. Vaccinations are accompanied by a consultation and examination with our veterinarians to make certain that your pet's condition is stable enough to receive them. Proper and timely administration is necessary to ensure optimal protection.
