Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets from preventable diseases. Core vaccines (rabies, distemper) and lifestyle-based non-core vaccines (bordetella, feline leukemia) follow AAHA guidelines. We maintain detailed records and provide reminders for booster schedules to ensure continuous protection.
Heartworm Prevention
Year-round heartworm prevention programs include oral, topical, and injectable options. Annual testing ensures early detection while client education emphasizes mosquito avoidance strategies. We tailor protocols to individual risk factors and geographic exposure levels for maximum efficacy.
