Immunizations
Immunizations
are a necessary part of any wellness protocol.
This
is especially true for pediatric
patients, beginning at six weeks of age in puppies and kittens.
We feel vaccinations should not be administered until a comprehensive
history and physical examination are completed. A vaccination protocol
may then be customized for each patient based on relative risk factors
and concurrent illness.
This may include semi-annual, annual or
triennial
vaccines/antigens and/or titers where appropriate. By utilizing
the latest in vaccine technology we keep your pet protected and
ultimately
minimize the number of injections, and thus potential complications,
required during the lifetime of your pet.
