All dogs must be vaccinated for Rabies Virus. Rabies is a viral infection of the central nervous system that can affect all mammals, including humans, and is 100% fatal if left untreated. It is transmitted from animal-to-animal or from animal-to-human primarily through the bite of an infected animal. Rabies virus travels in the nerves from the site of the bite to the brain and spinal cord. Rabies is carried in the U.S. in wild animals such as skunks, raccoons, foxes, and bats.

Recommended For:

All puppies and dogs. While all dogs should receive this vaccine, the most at risk are those that are frequently in contact with other dogs. The highest risk includes dogs frequently attending dog parks, doggy day care, training classes, boarding and grooming facilities. Speak with your veterinarian to decide how often your dog needs this vaccination.

Recommended Protocol:

The Bordetella Vaccine should be given to all puppies and dogs. We offer both intranasal and injectable Bordetella vaccines.

• Intranasal Bordetella vaccination can be administered at 8 weeks of age and is administered as a nasal spray. Annual booster vaccinations are recommended, or as recommended by your veterinarian.

The injectable Bordetella vaccination can also be administered at 8 weeks of age, and requires an initial vaccination followed by a booster 3-4 weeks later. Annual booster vaccinations are recommended.

What it Does:

This vaccine protects against the most common causes of Kennel Cough, a bacterium called Bordetella bronchiseptica. Most boarding, grooming, and dog training facilities require proof of vaccination. Check with your facility and your veterinarian several months prior to taking your dog.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by a tick bite. This vaccination helps prevent infection, even in previously infected animals. It should be noted that tick preventives are also available for pets.

Recommended For:

We recommend an initial vaccine series (2 injections given 3-4 weeks apart) and then an annual booster, or as recommended by your veterinarian.

Recommended Protocol:

This vaccination provides protection against Leptospirosis. This vaccine covers 4 types of Leptospirosis: Leptospira canicola, Leptospira grippotyphosa, Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, and Leptospira pomona.

What it Does:

Protection against Leptospirosis.

This vaccine does not prevent the toxin effects of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake bite, but it does provide help delaying the onset of symptoms while you get your pet to a full-service veterinary hospital.  On average, antibody levels in recently vaccinated dogs are comparable to treatment with three vials of antivenom, meaning vaccinated dogs should experience less pain and a reduced risk of permanent injury from a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake bite. Vaccination may reduce the overall effects of a bite, reduce or eliminate the need for antivenom, and increase the chances of survival for your dog.
