Pet Vaccinations in Las Vegas, NV
Pet vaccines have saved the lives of countless dogs and cats and reduced the prevalence of certain diseases so significantly that they are virtually non-existent today. However, fatal diseases such as rabies and distemper still exist, and remain a threat to unvaccinated pets. To protect companion animals and humans here in our Las Vegas community, we strongly recommend keeping your pet vaccinated throughout their life. Your pet’s protection indirectly benefits other pets and people that might be vulnerable by reducing or preventing the spread of infection.
Let’s make sure your pet’s vaccines are up to date. Contact us today to request an appointment!
Why We Tailor Your Pet’s Vaccinations
Vaccinating your pet is important, but even more important is making sure they get the vaccines they require for their unique needs and lifestyle. Your dog or cat is not likely to need every vaccine we carry for their species. In fact, we strive to avoid over-vaccinating, as this can be counterproductive to keeping them healthy!
Tailoring your pet’s vaccinations ensures they receive the fullest possible protection against fatal diseases that are a high risk for all pets. However, this also gives your pet protection against infectious diseases they might encounter more often than other pets due to their lifestyle.
Lifestyle-based vaccines are therefore optional, and we consider several factors when recommending these vaccines, including:
• Risk of exposure
• Travel habits
• Indoor/outdoor lifestyle
