Why Pet Vaccinations Matter
Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in pets and in communities. Many of the diseases we vaccinate against—like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia—can be deadly and have no cure. Others, like leptospirosis and bordetella, can spread easily among pets and, in some cases, to people.
Vaccinations protect not just your pet, but every pet they come in contact with—at parks, groomers, daycare, boarding facilities, or even on a walk.
What to Expect During a Vaccine Visit
At 4 Paws, we make vaccine visits calm, quick, and easy:
- We start with a physical exam to make sure your pet is healthy enough for their shots.
- We discuss your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors to determine which vaccines are needed.
- Vaccinations are administered gently and efficiently by our experienced team.
- You’ll receive a printed vaccine record and reminders for any upcoming boosters.
We’re also happy to answer your questions about vaccine safety, timing, and side effects.
Benefits of Staying Up to Date on Pet Vaccines:
- Protection from serious and preventable diseases
- Compliance with local and state rabies laws
- Required coverage for travel, boarding, and grooming
- Peace of mind in public settings
- Support for overall public health and community safety
Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or kitten, a senior pet, or a newly adopted friend, vaccines are a critical part of keeping them safe.
