Pet Vaccinations

Building Immunity One Vaccine At A Time

Pet vaccinations play a crucial role in safeguarding your beloved companion against several common diseases, providing a vital shield not only for them but also for your family. At Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital, we offer an array of core and non-core vaccines to meet your furry friend’s health needs and lifestyle.

Uncovering the Core of Pet Vaccines

Pet Core Vaccinations

Core pet vaccines are vaccinations that protect against common diseases and are therefore recommended for all pets. The rabies vaccine is specifically required by law for dogs in California. Some cities and counties for cats require it, too. Core vaccinations include:

For Dogs

  • Rabies

  • Parvovirus

  • Distemper

  • Adenovirus

  • Parainfluenza

For Cats

  • Rabies

  • Panleukopenia (AKA Feline Distemper)

  • Calicivirus

  • Herpesvirus (AKA Rhinotracheitis)

  • Leukemia (Recommend For Cats Under 1 Year Old)

Pet Non-Core Vaccinations

Non-core pet vaccinations are not necessary for all pets but will be recommended by your veterinarian based on factors such as age, lifestyle, exposure to other animals, and geographic location. If these pet vaccinations are recommended, your veterinarian believes they could be as crucial to your pet as their core vaccinations. These pet vaccines include:

For Dogs

  • Bordetella (AKA Kennel Cough)

  • Leptospirosis

  • Influenza

  • Lyme

For Cats

  • Bordetella (AKA Kennel Cough)

  • Chlamydophila felis

  • Leukemia (Recommended For Cats Over 1 Year Old)

What’s the Deal with Pet Vaccinations?

Based on this personalized assessment, we craft a custom pet vaccination plan that covers all the bases, ensuring your pet receives the protection they deserve.

Rest assured, our knowledgeable veterinary team stays up-to-date on the latest guidelines and scientific advancements to ensure the effectiveness and safety of your pet’s vaccination protocol. Your pet’s vaccination journey with us is not just about shots; it’s about providing them with the best defense while showering them with care, cuddles, and treats along the way.
