Core Vs. Non-core Vaccines

Many vaccines are available for use in dogs and cats but not every pet needs every available vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets. Whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease. Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet's life, as travel habits and other variables change. We will consider all of these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have. Vaccines help pets live longer and healthier lives. Protecting your pet is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccine schedule for your pet is important to us. Call us today to set up an appointment to discuss your pet's vaccine needs.
