The vaccinations your pet requires represent one of the most important preventive measures you can take for its long-term health. Dogs will be protected with inoculations against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvo virus, kennel cough and, of course, rabies.

Cats' immunizations include feline panleukopenia (distemper), rabies, feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, chlamydia and feline leukemia.

The frequency of vaccinations will depend on a variety of factors (animal's age, vaccination history, potential exposures, manufacturer's duration protection of the vaccine, geographic location). Dr. Eckermann will recommend a schedule consistent with your pet's unique environment and lifestyle.
