Cat Vaccinations
Routine vaccinations are recommended for all pets, including even those that rarely go out of the home. There are of number of good reasons for making this recommendation. To begin with, an outdoor cat that receives annual vaccines receives antibody protection not only from the vaccines, but also from daily exposure to bacteria and viruses that it encounters during its contacts with other cats and the environment.

Dog Vacinations
What are vaccines?
Vaccines contain viruses, bacteria, or other disease-causing organisms that have been killed or altered so that they can no longer cause disease. Newer vaccines may contain genetically engineered components derived from those disease agents. When given to an animal, vaccines will stimulate the body’s immune system to form disease fighting cells and proteins (known as antibodies) to protect against the disease. Although the protection afforded by vaccines can be reduced by poor health and poor nutrition, most fully vaccinated animals will be resistant to the disease for which they are vaccinated.

Basic Puppy Health
VACCINATIONS
Many common diseases, including Distemper, are deadly to your puppy. During the initial day of nursing, puppies receive antibodies against certain diseases from their mother’s milk. These protecting antibodies are gradually lost between 6 and 16 weeks of age. A series of vaccinations are given during this period to stimulate your puppie’s immune system to produce its own antibodies. Even if your puppy never goes outside, many viruses are quite hardy, and can be carried to your dog on your hands, shoes or clothing. Make sure your pet is protected! Talk to your veterinarian about a vaccine protocol. Read more »
