Vaccinations

Prevention is often the best medicine. Twin Peaks Veterinary Center serves Tucson, offering veterinary services like vaccines and disease prevention. Is it time for your pet to see a veterinarian and get their vaccines? Your dog or cat will benefit from an up-to-date vaccine record.

Vaccines and Annual Exams

Vaccines are typically one of the biggest reasons why pet owners bring their animals in for an annual exam. Vaccines work in pets much as they work in people. They provide exposure to the disease on a small scale to generate antibodies. Antibodies will then protect prime your pet’s immune system to fight off the disease should it be exposed to the disease in the future. Some vaccines must be updated annually while others require just one or two doses total. Our vet will provide more insight into your pet’s needs.

What Vaccines Does Your Dog Need?

Dogs need four vaccines. These include vaccinations to fight rabies, canine distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis. These are among the most common diseases that affect dogs, which is why prevention is so important. If you frequently board your dog, the vaccine against kennel cough, or Bordetella, is also required to prevent the spread of contagious disease.

What Vaccines Does Your Cat Need?

Cats benefit from four vaccines as well. They include vaccines against rabies, feline distemper, calicivirus, and feline herpesvirus. If your cat spends time outside or interacts with cats who go outside, you should also consider the feline leukemia vaccine.

Are Pet Vaccines Safe?

Yes, pet vaccines are deemed safe for cats and dogs. Few side effects exist. Some pets experience soreness, while others may have a temporary loss of appetite. If you notice something is wrong with your pet after an exam or vaccine, our animal hospital can help.
