Do I have to vaccinate my pet?
Yes and no. State and County require that your cat or dog is vaccinated for Rabies, as this is a matter of public safety. If your pet were to bite someone or another animal, they are required to quarantine, and the type of quarantine is based on their vaccination status. Fines from the County may also be incurred if your pet is not properly vaccinated for Rabies. Other vaccines are considered either core or elective.
What are core vaccines?
1. Distemper/parvo (DAPP)
For adult dogs and puppies over six weeks of age. We are seeing an uptick in the number of deadly distemper cases in our region. Parvovirus is another deadly organism that can cost your pet its life. If your pet has never been vaccinated, or you’re unsure of their vaccination status, you will need to return to have one or more booster vaccinations.
2. Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis/Calici/Panleukopenia (FVRCP)
Recommended for all cats and kittens six weeks of age or older and then every 3–4 weeks until 16–20 weeks of age.
3. Rabies
State and County require that your cat or dog is vaccinated for Rabies, as this is a matter of public safety. If your pet were to bite someone or another animal, they are required to quarantine, and the type of quarantine is based on their vaccination status. Fines from the County may also be incurred if your pet is not properly vaccinated for Rabies.
