Vaccinations are the cornerstone for wellness care at Leslie Animal Clinic, as they offer protection from the most debilitating and infectious diseases for dogs and cats. Vaccines provide protection from numerous diseases such as rabies, distemper, and hepatitis. Some of these diseases can be passed from pets to people, so vaccinations are important to human health as well.
To assist veterinarians with making vaccine recommendations for pets, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has issued canine and feline vaccine guidelines. One of AAHA’s key recommendations is that all pets are different, and vaccine decisions should be made on an individual basis for each dog or cat.
In creating your wellness plan for vaccinations, we take into consideration the age, breed, health status, environment, lifestyle, and travel habits of each pet. For example, rattlesnake vaccine is not widely offered in urban areas in the Midwest, but here in New Mexico the rattlesnake is a genuine threat to your pets.
Together with pet owners, we tailor an immunization program that best protects your pet based on risk and lifestyle factors.
