Vaccine Information

Rabies is a preventable contagious disease that is transmittable to humans. By vaccinating dogs against rabies, you not only protect them but also safeguard people. Rabies is almost always fatal once an animal is infected, making the rabies vaccine critically important. 

*We follow Arizona State vaccination laws. All pets must be vaccinated against rabies for the safety of our clients and staff.*

This vaccine protects dogs from Canine Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.

Distemper can be acquired by dogs of any age. This virus can cause vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory disease as well as seizures. 

Adenovirus can be found in the urine, nasal, and eye discharges of infected animals. It spreads through direct contact with these contaminated materials, and young dogs are particularly vulnerable. The virus can lead to symptoms such as a dry, hacking cough, retching, sneezing, watery nasal discharge, pneumonia, loss of appetite, fever, and lethargy. 

Parainfluenza is a highly contagious viral infection that targets the respiratory system in dogs and spreads through the air. It resembles distemper and can produce similar symptoms, including a dry or hacking cough, inflammation of the larynx, bronchial tubes, and trachea, low-grade fever, nasal discharge, lethargy, and loss of appetite.

Parvovirus is very common in our environment. One drop of either vomit or diarrhea can contact a million virus particles.  This virus is devastating and can be fatal especially in dogs younger than 2 years of age

Leptospirosis, commonly known as Lepto, can infect both humans and various animals, including dogs. The bacteria thrive in moist environments and water and are transmitted through the urine of infected animals. In recent years, the incidence of Lepto has risen in our area. Symptoms of the infection include fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, joint or muscle pain, eye and nasal discharge, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

The Bordetella vaccine is generally advised for dogs that are frequently around other dogs, such as those in boarding facilities or social environments. Bordetella is the main bacterial cause of kennel cough, which is characterized by a persistent, dry cough that produces no mucus, along with symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, low energy, reduced appetite, and mild fever.

Vaccination for Lyme borreliosis is recommended for dogs living in or traveling to areas where Lyme disease is emerging or endemic. Lyme disease results from infection with borrelial pathogens transmitted by ticks.

Canine influenza is a highly contagious, airborne infection that spreads through droplets when dogs sneeze, cough, or bark. The virus can also be transmitted through direct contact with an infected dog, as well as by contaminated objects and people that have been in contact with infected dogs. This respiratory disease can affect dogs of any age, breed, sex, or health status. 

This vaccine protects cats from Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia. 

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that affects cats by targeting their immune system and blood-forming tissues. FeLV is specific to felines and does not pose a risk to other animal species or humans.
