Vaccinations are important to your pet’s yearly care.
Immunizing your furry companion protects them from dangerous and potentially life-threatening diseases. By staying up to date with vaccinations, you can make sure your pet remains healthy and safeguarded against common illnesses. At easyvet Iowa Colony, our veterinarians administer the most appropriate vaccines based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
How Our Veterinarians Determine the Right Vaccines
Every pet is different, which is why we create vaccination plans to fit their individual needs. During your pet’s visit, our veterinarians will review your companion’s medical history and discuss their daily environment and potential exposure risks.
By customizing vaccine plans, we help protect pets from diseases while minimizing unnecessary vaccinations. Our team will create a vaccination schedule that includes core and, if necessary, non-core vaccines that are just right for your cat or dog.
Dog Vaccinations: Core and Non-Core Options
Dogs require a combination of core and non-core vaccines to maintain optimal health. Regular vaccinations prevent serious illnesses and keep your furry friend protected from common infections.
Core Dog Vaccines
- Rabies: A fatal disease that affects the nervous system and is required by law.
- DAPP/DHPP: A combination vaccine (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) that protects against several serious viral infections.
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial disease often found in wet environments like puddles.
Non-Core Dog Vaccines
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended for dogs that visit boarding facilities, groomers, or dog parks.
- Canine Influenza: Protects against respiratory infections, particularly for social or high-risk dogs.
Vaccination schedules for dogs may vary based on age and lifestyle. Puppies require a series of booster shots to build immunity, while adult dogs need routine boosters to maintain protection. Our veterinarians will develop a schedule that fits your pet’s specific needs.
Cat Vaccinations: Core and Non-Core Options
Like dogs, cats need a mix of core and non-core vaccines to stay healthy. These vaccines protect against highly contagious and potentially fatal feline diseases.
Core Cat Vaccines
- Rabies: Required by law for preventing this fatal disease.
- FVRCP: Protects against several serious feline diseases (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia).
Non-Core Cat Vaccines
- FeLV (Feline Leukemia): May be a core vaccination for some kittens but becomes non-core for adult cats based on lifestyle and risk factors.
