Protecting your best friend: Your pet's mother gave immunity from disease for the first few weeks of existence by providing disease-fighting antibodies in her milk. After that period, it's up to you, with the help and advice from your veterinarian, to provide that protection through vaccination!

How do vaccines work?: Vaccines contain small quantities of altered or "killed" viruses, bacteria or other disease-causing organisms. When administered, they stimulate your dog or cat's immune system to produce disease-fighting cells and proteins - or antibodies - to help protect your dog against disease.

How effective is vaccination?: Like any drug treatment or surgical procedure, vaccinations cannot be 100% guaranteed. However, used in conjunction with proper nutrition and acceptable sanitary conditions, vaccination is clearly your pet's best defense against disease.

We tailor vaccination protocols to individual need based on risk. We have decreased our vaccination frequencies based on the latest duration of immunity studies. We only vaccinate for those diseases that remain prevalent.

We follow the lowest frequency possible for vaccination.

Other vaccinations may be recommended, based on your veterinarian's evaluation of the risks posed by such factors as your pet's particular heredity, environment and lifestyle. Remember that proper communication and education are your most effective tools in preventing disease in your pet...be sure to talk to your veterinarian today for more information!
