Vaccinations
Immunizations are one of the best preventive medicine tools McLean Animal Hospital has available and a key part of pet wellness. The key to administering dog/cat vaccines appropriately is to determine which diseases each particular pet may be at risk for and then vaccinate for those diseases no more than necessary. At McLean Animal Hospital, a balanced approach to pet vaccines is the best way to protect your pet from disease and minimize the risk of an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
Common Questions Our Vets Can Answer For You Include:
- How often does my pet need to be vaccinated?
- How do I know which vaccines my pet needs?
- Is there a test that helps determine if my pet needs to be vaccinated?
- What are the possible risks associated with vaccination?
- How often should my pet visit the veterinarian?
McLean Animal Hospital provides core vaccines for puppies, such as DHPP & Rabies. For cats, we can provide the FVRCP vaccines and Rabies. We’ll be happy to explain when we feel these vaccines should be administered and what vaccines you should consider once your pet, whether dog or cat, becomes an adult.
