Dog receiving an injection for Wellness and Preventative Care at Pure Paws

We follow preventive care and vaccination guidelines set forth by the American Animal Hospital Association. Vaccines are very safe and well-tolerated by most animals, and the benefits of vaccination almost always outweigh any small risk. If your pet has a history of vaccine reactions in the past, however, we are happy to work with you to create a protocol that best protects your pet’s health while still ensuring they maintain adequate immunity. Our doctors do offer vaccine titer testing upon request.

General canine vaccines include:

  • Rabies
  • Parvovirus (a very severe gastrointestinal virus)
  • Distemper (a highly contagious, often-fatal virus that causes respiratory and neurologic signs)
  • Adenovirus (a disease affecting the liver)
  • Leptospirosis (a bacteria found in the environment that causes severe kidney and liver damage)

Risk-based (conditional) canine vaccines include:

  • Kennel cough (Parainfluenza and Bordetella; usually required for boarding purposes)
  • Influenza (we offer both the H3N8 and the H3N2 strains)
  • Lyme disease (a tick-borne disease that can cause serious illness)

General feline vaccines include:

  • Rabies
  • Feline herpesvirus (a very common cause of upper respiratory disease)
  • Calicivirus (another upper respiratory pathogen)
  • Panleukopenia (a relative of parvovirus in dogs, which causes diarrhea and immunosuppression)
