Clinic Policies:

If you're heavily invested in your pet's health, then you'll need to look into vaccination at some point. This type of care is usually delivered by a qualified veterinarian working at an animal hospital or a vet clinic. The right set of vaccines will stimulate immunity, a process that protects your animal against infectious disease.

Like humans, our pets can be exposed to diseases such as rabies or influenza. At the very least, a disease can lower the quality of life for an animal; at the very most, a disease can be fatal for your loved one. To protect your pet against disease, we recommend a visit to the Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic in Philadelphia. 

Vaccinations

What Vaccinations Protect Against

There are different vaccinations available, so you'll need to consult with a veterinary specialist to find out which shots would be the most helpful for your pet. Depending on the location, some disease outbreaks are more frequent than others. At the Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic, we provide immunization against bordetella, canine influenza, distemper, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and feline leukemia. If you have reason to believe that your pet is vulnerable to one of these conditions, feel free to contact us for a consultation.

How Often Should Pets Get Vaccinated?

An immunization shot may last up to three years, depending on the strength of the dosage. Some veterinary experts recommend that you get another set of vaccinations once the three-year period is over. However, there is a risk of overvaccination. If your pet displays an allergic reaction to a vaccine shot - such as swelling or decreased appetite - then you maybe should avoid another round of vaccines.

What to Expect During a Vaccination

You can expect an explanation of the vaccination process from a qualified staff member. Don't be afraid to ask questions during this stage. Our veterinarian will then administer the vaccine with a needle, preparing your animal's immune response against disease. After the vaccination, the vet will likely offer other pet care services for your loved one.
