Pet Vaccinations

Understanding the Importance of Vaccinating Your Pets
Vaccinations are crucial in preventing diseases that can impact your pet’s health. By vaccinating your pet, you provide essential protection against illnesses that could otherwise lead to severe complications. Vaccinations safeguard their health and contribute to the well-being of the broader pet community. It helps create a healthier environment by minimizing the spread of contagious diseases.
Our Vaccination Services
At Harrison Animal Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of pet vaccinations tailored to the specific needs of your animal companion. Our services include:
Core Vaccines
Lifestyle Vaccines
Lifestyle vaccinations are additional vaccines recommended based on a pet’s individual risk factors. For cats, these may include vaccines for diseases like feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and Bordetella (kennel cough). Similarly, dogs may receive non-core vaccinations for Bordetella, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and canine influenza virus.
Puppy & Kitten Vaccinations
Puppy and kitten vaccinations are essential for protecting young pets. Typically starting at 6 to 8 weeks old, puppies receive vaccines for distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and rabies, while kittens receive shots for FVR, FCV, FPV, and rabies. These initial vaccines are given in a series over several weeks, followed by boosters to maintain immunity.
