Why Keeping Your Pet’s Vaccines Up to Date Is So Important

Why Keeping Your Pet’s Vaccines Up to Date Is So Important

Vaccinations do more than prevent illness—they help protect your pet, your household, and our Carmel community. Here’s why staying up to date matters:

  • Prevents Serious Diseases

    Rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia have no cure. Vaccines give your pet strong protection against these dangerous illnesses.

  • Helps You Avoid Costly Treatments

    Preventing disease is far more affordable than managing it later. A quick vaccine can spare your pet from illness and save you from unexpected emergency bills.

  • Protects Other Pets and Your Family

    Rabies and leptospirosis can spread from animals to people. Staying current on vaccines helps safeguard your household and the wider community.

  • Needed for Boarding, Daycare, and Grooming

    Most facilities require proof of vaccines like rabies, bordetella, and influenza to protect all pets in their care. Keeping your pet up to date ensures they’re always ready for their next visit.

Vaccinations for Dogs

We take a tailored approach to dog vaccinations, making sure your pup receives the protection they need without unnecessary extras.

Core Vaccines

  • Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)

    This vaccine protects your dog from a highly contagious viral illness that affects several body systems. It’s an important part of keeping them healthy.

  • Canine Parvovirus (CPV)

    Parvo can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, especially in puppies. This vaccine offers strong protection against a dangerous disease.

  • Canine Adenovirus-2 (CAV-2)

    We use this vaccine to help prevent infectious canine hepatitis and to reduce the risk of certain respiratory issues.

  • Rabies

    The rabies vaccine protects against a fatal disease that can spread to people and is required by law in most communities.

  • Canine Parainfluenza Virus

    This vaccine helps protect against a respiratory virus commonly linked to kennel cough and is often included in combination vaccines.

Noncore Vaccines

  • Bordetella (Kennel Cough)

    We recommend this vaccine for dogs that visit boarding facilities, dog parks, or spend time around other dogs. It helps protect against one of the most common causes of kennel cough.

  • Leptospirosis

    This vaccine protects against a bacterial illness that can lead to kidney and liver damage. It’s a good choice for dogs who may encounter wildlife or standing water.

  • Lyme Disease

    This vaccine helps guard against a tick-borne disease that can cause joint pain and kidney issues. It’s especially useful for dogs in areas where ticks are a concern.

Even indoor cats benefit from staying protected. We tailor our vaccine recommendations to support your cat’s health and safety at every stage of life.

Core Vaccines

  • Rabies

    Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system and can spread to people. This vaccine is required by law in most communities.

  • Feline Distemper (FPV)

    FPV is a highly contagious virus that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, immune system suppression, and neurological problems. Vaccination offers strong protection against this dangerous disease.

  • Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) & Feline Calicivirus (FCV)

    These viruses cause upper respiratory infections that can lead to sneezing, eye discharge, mouth ulcers, and breathing challenges. They’re common among cats and spread easily, so vaccination is an important layer of protection.
