Vaccinations

Our veterinary team in Greenfield strongly believes in cat and dog vaccinations as an essential aspect of pet healthcare. Unvaccinated pets are much more vulnerable to diseases in their environment and are not likely to have sufficient immunity to fight them off. Therefore, one of our veterinarians will want to discuss your cat or dog’s vaccinations and help you choose the best schedule for their needs.

What good can cat and dog vaccinations do against contagious viruses and diseases? A lot, as a matter of fact. Like human vaccines, vaccines for cats and dogs contain antigens, which mimic certain diseases. Once injected, these antigens will trigger the immune system to produce antibodies, which in turn will target the antigens. If your pet comes into contact with a certain disease later in life, its immune system will be equipped to recognize and destroy it. Call (414) 529-3577 or schedule an appointment online for your pet!

When to Vaccinate Your Pet and How Often

The question of when and how often you should vaccinate your pet and what vaccines they will need depends on multiple factors, including:

• Age
• Size
• Health
• Environment
• Frequency of travel
• Exposure risks

One of our veterinarians will guide you step by step in choosing the proper vaccines and devising a schedule. While core vaccines such as rabies and distemper are needed for every pet, other “lifestyle” vaccines such as Bordetella or feline Leukemia may not be required. While it is a non-core vaccine, we do highly recommend Leptospirosis for every dog. Keep in mind as well that we can alter your pet’s vaccination plan if their circumstances happen to change. Stay in touch and let us know if we need to recommend additional cat and dog vaccinations for your pet.

It is important to start pets on their vaccinations when they are young and vulnerable to illness. The more time they have to build up their immune systems, the healthier and happier they will be.
