Vaccinations
Vaccination for pets is essential to ensure that they are protected against common and potentially deadly infectious diseases. Vaccines work by stimulating the pet’s immune system to produce antibodies against specific diseases, helping to prevent infection and the spread of disease to other pets.
The vaccination services Intervet offers include:
- Core vaccines: These vaccines protect against diseases that are widespread and pose a significant risk to pets: Rabies, distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis and adenovirus.
- Non-core vaccines: These vaccines may be recommended based on the pet's lifestyle, environment, or other factors: Bordetella (kennel cough).
- Vaccine schedules: Vaccines are typically administered in a series of doses, depending on the pet's age and health status. Our veterinarian can help you determine the appropriate vaccine schedule for your pet.
- Vaccine boosters: After the initial series of vaccines, pets will require periodic booster shots to maintain immunity against diseases. Our veterinarian can advise you on the appropriate booster schedule for your pet.
- Vaccine safety: Our veterinarian can also provide guidance on the safety of vaccines, including potential side effects and any precautions you should take before or after your pet receives a vaccine.
Vaccination services are an important component of your pet’s overall health and well-being. Vaccines are generally safe and effective, and can help protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. If you have any questions about vaccination services or would like to schedule an appointment for your pet, you may contact us.
