Vaccinations protect your pet—as well as other animals and even the humans they interact with—from contagious and potentially deadly diseases, enabling them to live longer and healthier lives. That’s why puppies and kittens should receive a series of vaccinations starting in the first few months of life.
What’s more, vaccinations can help prevent costly treatments for preventable diseases, some of which can be life-threatening.
Here at Papaya Veterinary Care in Culver City, our experienced veterinarians can advise you on the vaccination protocol your pet should follow depending on their age and overall health.
What vaccinations does my pet need?
While your veterinarian will advise you on the specific vaccinations that are appropriate for your pet, in general:
- Dogs should be immunized against canine distemper, parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, and rabies. If your dog will be spending time in a kennel or around other animals, a vaccination to protect them from kennel cough may also be in order.
- Cats should be immunized against feline calicivirus, feline herpes virus, feline infectious enteritis, rabies, and possibly feline leukemia virus.
