While any medical treatment involves some degree of risk, in the case of vaccinations the benefits far outweigh any potential side effects. Adverse reactions are rare and usually mild and short-term when they do occur. At Woodinville Veterinary Hospital and Urgent Care Services, we will tailor vaccinations to your pet’s lifestyle, and not based on what’s available in the market.
- Rabies (dogs and cats)
- Distemper, Hepatitis, Adenovirus 2, Parvo and Parainfluenza (dogs)
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia (cats)
For dogs, bordetella and canine influenza shots are recommended if they frequent dog parks, boarding kennels, or any place where they’re socializing with other canines. You might also talk to your veterinarian about a leptospirosis vaccine if your dog is like so many in our area that go on hikes into rural areas or spend a lot of time outdoors where there’s wildlife.
