Duarte & Azusa Veterinarian Recommended Pet Vaccinations

At Duarte Azusa Animal Hospital, we strive every day to be your go-to Duarte & Asuza veterinarian, taking care of all your pet's health and wellness needs. One of the more important services we provide here in our office is that of vaccinations and immunizations for your pet. Depending on the type and age of pet you have, there are a number of potential vaccinations that may be recommended.

Recommended Vaccines for Your Pet

When most people think of vaccines for their pets, the first one that comes to mind is rabies. A rabies vaccine is highly recommended for most domestic pets, as the disease is easily passed on from one infected animal to the next. Not to mention, rabies is always fatal, so it's important to keep your pet's rabies vaccination up-to-date every year or every few years, depending on the specific vaccine given by your vet.

In addition to rabies vaccines, dog owners will also want to consider vaccines and immunizations against parvo-virus and bordetella. Regular booster shots may also be recommended for puppies and younger dogs. For cats, feline leukemia vaccines and distemper vaccinations may also be recommended, in addition to boosters for kittens. If you're not sure which vaccinations your pet is due for, bring its previous veterinary records into our office and we'll help you get it figured out.

The Importance of Vaccinations

Keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations is vital for your pet's health, as well as the health and wellness of other animals and even humans. For example, rabies is a disease that can be spread from animals to humans. Not to mention, many boarding facilities, pet day cares, and dog parks will refuse entry if your pet is not properly vaccinated.
