At PetSmart Veterinary Services, we recognize the critical role that vaccinations and immunizations play in maintaining your pet's health and preventing contagious diseases. Our comprehensive vaccination programs are designed to offer protection tailored to your pet's unique needs, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Personalized Vaccination Plans: Understanding that every pet is unique, we offer personalized vaccination plans. Our experienced veterinarians will assess your pet’s health history, age, and lifestyle to recommend the most appropriate vaccinations.
Core and Non-Core Vaccinations: We categorize vaccines into core and non-core. Core vaccines are recommended for most health patients due to the widespread risk of the diseases they protect against. Non-core vaccines are administered based on your pet’s specific lifestyle and risk exposure.
Safe and Effective Vaccines: Our vaccines are selected for their safety and efficacy, ensuring your pet receives the best possible protection against diseases. We stay informed about the latest veterinary science to offer vaccines that meet the highest standards.
Disease Prevention: Vaccinations are a key tool in preventing infectious diseases that can be harmful or even fatal to pets and, in some cases, transmissible to humans.
Cost-Effective Health Care: Preventing diseases through vaccination is far more cost-effective than treating diseases once they occur. It's an investment in your pet’s health and wellbeing.
Community Health: Vaccinating your pet also helps protect other pets and, in the case of rabies, even humans. It contributes to the overall health of the pet community.
Initial Vaccinations: Puppies and kittens typically start their vaccination series at around 6-8 weeks of age, with boosters administered at 3- to 4-week intervals until they are about 16 weeks old.
Booster Shots: Adult pets require regular booster shots to maintain immunity. The frequency will depend on the vaccine, ranging from annually to every three years.
Monitoring and Care: After vaccination, it's common for pets to experience mild side effects, such as soreness at the injection site or temporary lethargy. Our team is here to guide you through what to expect and when to seek further advice.
