VACCINATIONS RECOMMENDED FOR DOGS: (Information on Cats)
DHLP-P - This vaccination protects against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza and Parvo. Vaccinations should start as a puppy at the age of 6 weeks. Puppies are given boosters every 2-3 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Adults that have never been vaccinated with DHLP-P need 2 vaccinations 2-3 weeks apart. They will NOT be fully protected against these diseases until 2 weeks after the last vaccine in the series. After the initial series, a booster is required in 1 year for adult dogs and puppies.
CORONA - Corona disease has symptoms similar to Parvo and can infect your dog at the same time, causing more severe problems and a greater chance of death. The schedule for Corona is the same as DHLP-P and can be given at the same time as DHLP-P.

RABIES - Rabies is a virus that attacks the brain and central nervous system of its victim. The virus can be transmitted to humans through the bite or scratch of an infected pet. Once symptoms begin, survival is unlikely. That is why vaccinating your pet for rabies is so important, it is the best preventative. It is also required by law that all dogs over 4 months of age be vaccinated against Rabies. This allows you to license your dog, which is also required by law. The initial vaccination for both puppies and adult dogs is good for 1 year, and every vaccination thereafter is good for 3 years.

FeLV - Feline Leukemia is a disease that affects the immune system of cats. We recommend that cats over 12 weeks of age have a Feline Leukemia blood test. If you wish to vaccinate your cat, it is important to know that the vaccine will not interfere with the blood test, and nor will it protect your pet if it is already carrying the virus. Cats as young as 8-9 weeks can be vaccinated and given a booster in 3-4 weeks. An annual booster vaccination is recommended thereafter.
