PET VACCINATION
Kitten, Puppy and other Pets Vaccines Services in Scarbourough
If you’ve recently become a kitty or puppy owner, congratulations! It’s time to protect them against diseases to ensure they live a long, healthy life.
Why should you vaccinate your indoor and outdoor pets?
Even if your newborn will spend every day of their life inside, they are still at risk of catching diseases. This is because insects, bats and other pests that seek shelter in houses can carry and transmit diseases. Some animals also have illnesses that run in their family and need vaccinations to fight them off. Some of the illnesses that require vaccination include:
-
Distemper: this virus spreads rapidly. Make sure you protect your kitten or puppy against feline/canine distemper—it weakens the immune system, attacks blood cells and is fatal.
-
Canine parvovirus: protect your dog against this contagious viral disease. It attacks cells and can cause cardiovascular problems and even death.
-
Hepatitis: hepatitis inflames the liver and can cause severe symptoms, such as vomiting and fever. Prevent your dog’s liver from failing and vaccinate them against hepatitis.
-
Rabies: the rabies vaccine is a legal requirement. Rabies is fatal and there’s no treatment available so make sure your dog or cat is protected. What’s worse, if your fluffy friend gets rabies, they can spread it to you.
Some vaccines are only necessary in certain situations. Here are a few of them:
-
Leukaemia: our veterinarians will want to know about your pet’s family history. If leukaemia runs in their family or goes outside, this vaccine is essential.
-
Lyme disease: tick bites can cause a lot of irritation and infection. Lyme disease spreads to humans and is very debilitating. If you live in a wooded area or take your pet to parks that are tick infested, this vaccination will protect your animal against harmful ticks and will prevent you from catching it from them.
-
Canine bordetella: if your dog will visit kennels, grooming or dog parks, the bordetella vaccine is a must. The high concentration of dogs in one area can increases exposure to this illness.
-
Leptospirosis: caused by a bacteria spread through soil, water, and the urine of infected animals, and if not caught early it can be deadly, ask our veterinarian if the vaccine is right for your dog.
