At Barstow Animal Hospital, we understand that vaccinations are vital to the health and well-being of pets. We offer a comprehensive range of vaccines designed to meet the specific needs of dogs and cats, helping to protect them from common, potentially fatal diseases. Regular vaccinations are a crucial part of preventive care, reducing the risk of exposure to harmful pathogens and contributing to the overall health of the pet population.
For dogs, we provide vaccines for core diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus. These vaccines are essential for preventing highly contagious diseases that can lead to severe health complications or even death. In addition, we offer non-core vaccines based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors, including protection against diseases like leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and Bordetella (kennel cough). We tailor each vaccination plan to your dog’s age, breed, and environment to ensure maximum protection.
For cats, we also administer core vaccines, including those for feline distemper (panleukopenia), feline herpesvirus, and calicivirus, which protect against serious viral infections. Rabies vaccination is required by law in many areas, and we make sure all cats are up to date on this essential shot. Additionally, we provide non-core vaccines for cats at risk of diseases like feline leukemia (FeLV), which is especially important for outdoor cats or those in multi-cat households.
At Barstow Animal Hospital, we emphasize the importance of regular check-ups and timely vaccinations. Our veterinary team works closely with pet owners to establish a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle. By staying on top of vaccinations, you can ensure your dogs and cats live long, healthy lives, free from the threat of preventable diseases. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care and education to keep your pets safe and healthy.
