If you’re a first time pet owner, chances are you don’t know what types of vaccinations your new pal needs. You can and should call around to talk with Veterinarians Chandler AZ about vaccinations, but chances are you’ll still want some more information about what you learn. Here we’ll talk about the standard vaccinations veterinarians recommend for both cats and dogs, as well as what diseases these vaccinations prevent.
Vaccinations for Cats
1. Feline 3-in-1 Vaccination. This vaccination covers 3 of the most common feline diseases your cat is susceptible to:
2. Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis – Causes nasal and ocular (eye) discharge
3. Calicivirus – Causes fever, mouth ulcers and sneezing
4. Feline Pneumonitis – Causes upper respiratory infections that can lead to secondary bacterial infection
Vaccinations for Dogs
1. Canine 4-in-1 Vaccination. Similar to the feline version, this vaccination covers 4 of the most common canine diseases:
2. Distemper – An often fatal disease that causes pneumonia, diarrhea and vomiting
3. Hepatitis – Causes damages the liver
4. Para Influenza – A viral disease that can contribute to Kennel Cough (see above)
5. Parvovirus – An often fatal disease that causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration
In addition to these standard vaccinations, Veterinarians Chandler AZ will also recommend preventative measures for other health issues, including heartworm, flea and tick prevention.
Aside from keeping your dog or cat from getting preventable diseases, your veterinarian will also help you maintain your pet’s overall health. This includes diet, exercise and training (mostly for dogs), mental stimulation, house training, socialization, and more. And of course, they’ll also talk with you about ways to keep your new pet from getting lost, including secure fencing for dogs, ID tags for both cats and dogs, and microchipping.
