Vaccinations
Young animals are like kids–it’s a never-ending job to keep them safe and happy. Vaccinating your pet is a very important way to protect his or her health. In addition to preventing many life-threatening illnesses, vaccinations can prevent some diseases transmitted in wildlife and some that can be passed to humans.
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.
We follow the American Animal Hospital Association guidelines for required vaccines.

Core vaccines (i.e. required) for dogs include:
- Distemper
- Adenovirus

- Leptospirosis
