Your Pet's Health

Vaccinations for Pets

Wellness & Vaccinations for Pets

Like humans, Pets need booster inoculations throughout their lives to prevent common diseases. Pet vaccinations are an integral part of your Pet's overall preventive care plan. Protect your furry family member by learning more about vaccinations for Pets.

Vaccinations for cats are quite different than those for dogs. Diseases such as Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Leukemia are fatal for cats, but are preventable. Understand why these and other vaccinations for cats are imperative to your Pet's overall health.

Dogs also have certain booster inoculations they must receive for optimum health. Like cats, it's recommended that dogs have a vaccination against distemper. Other vaccinations for dogs include parvovirus, rabies, coronavirus and leptospirosis. Your dog's age and other factors will determine the frequency of these inoculations. Learn more about vaccinations for dogs and when a puppy or adult canine should receive them.

Vaccination Information

Pets are important members of our family. We want the best for our cat or dog, which often means we have questions or need advice about their health care. Though vaccinations for Pets are basic preventive veterinary care, you may still want to know the purpose and frequency of each vaccine.

At Banfield, The Pet Hospital we've compiled a variety of informational articles and videos that can answer many of your Pet care questions in an online resource called PetDR. Understand common symptoms of parvovirus in dogs. Learn reasons for vaccinating against cat leukemia. Get advice about whether your puppy needs vitamins or whether a cat's teeth need frequent brushing. PetDR provides nationwide Pet health advice about a range of topics, 24-hours a day.

Banfield offers over 700 Pet hospital locations coast-to-coast, from Miami to Austin and New York to Sacramento.

Vaccinations Work

Canine and feline vaccinations are often a Pet owner's first introduction into preventive care. While vaccinations for cats and dogs can keep illness at bay, having a preventive veterinary care plan adds an additional layer of protection. At Banfield, our Pet health care plans are comprehensive, affordable solutions for maintaining the health of your dog or cat.

Pets age quickly, which means routine exams are important for understanding and noticing important changes in your dog or cat. Even though cats are vaccinated for leukemia, regular checkups are important for ensuring the feline's overall health. The same applies to dogs. For example some larger dog breeds, like the popular Labrador Retriever, are prone to joint problems as they age. Routine exams allow Banfield to assess health issues such as joint health and help to determine whether the dog is in pain. Optimum Wellness Plans allow for this comprehensive care at an affordable price.

Banfield's Optimum Wellness Plans work with cat and dog vaccinations to ensure the overall health, happiness and longevity of your favorite, furry family member. Like vaccinations for Pets, these plans can prevent a lot of potential health issues before they occur. Some of the advantages of these Pet health care plans include:

  • An ability to transfer the plan nationwide
  • Comprehensive, affordable care
  • Up to a 25% longer life for your Pet

Keep your Pets happy, healthy and with your family for many years. Learn about vaccinations for Pets and Optimum Wellness Plans from Banfield, The Pet Hospital.
