Pet vaccinations are fundamental to ensuring your pet’s long-term health and well-being. These critical preventive measures protect against various diseases, some of which can be life-threatening. Understanding the difference between core and non-core vaccines and tailoring a vaccination plan to fit your pet’s unique lifestyle and needs is where All Aboard Animal Hospital excels.
Core Vaccines: Protection for Every Pet
Core vaccines are essential for all pets due to the severity and prevalence of the diseases they protect against. For dogs, core vaccines include rabies, parvovirus, distemper, parainfluenza, and adenovirus. For cats, core vaccines are against rabies, herpesvirus, calicivirus, leukemia (for cats under one year of age), and feline panleukopenia.
Non-Core Vaccines: Safeguarding Your Pet’s Lifestyle
Non-core vaccines are given based on a pet’s specific risk factors, such as their environment and lifestyle. For dogs, these may include vaccines for Bordetella (kennel cough), Lyme disease, leptospirosis, rattlesnake vaccine, and canine influenza. For cats, non-core options include vaccines for leukemia (for cats over one year of age), bordetella, and Chlamydophila felis.
