Pet Immunization Programs

At Tarzana Pet Clinic, our comprehensive Pet Immunization Programs in Tarzana, CA, ensure your pets stay healthy and protected. Vaccinations are essential for preventive care, shielding pets from common and potentially life-threatening diseases.

Why Vaccinations Matter

Pet immunization programs are essential to maintaining your pet’s long-term health. Vaccinations not only protect individual pets from serious illnesses but also contribute to the overall health of the pet population. Common diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper can be avoided with the right vaccinations.

What to Expect From Our Pet Immunization Programs

Our veterinary team at Tarzana Pet Clinic offers customized immunization plans based on your pet’s specific needs, age, and lifestyle. We provide vaccines for both dogs and cats, ensuring they are protected against the most common and dangerous diseases.

Benefits of Pet Immunization Programs

  • Prevent Serious Illnesses: Vaccines prevent diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia, protecting your pet’s health and well-being.
  • Cost-Effective: Preventing diseases through vaccines is more affordable than treating the illnesses they prevent.
  • Required by Law: In many areas, vaccines like rabies are legally required for pets.

Core and Non-Core Vaccines

Our pet immunization programs include both core and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines are recommended for all pets, while non-core vaccines are based on individual factors like lifestyle and exposure risks.

  • Core Vaccines: These are essential for all pets and include vaccinations for rabies, canine distemper, and parvovirus for dogs, and feline calicivirus, feline leukemia, and rabies for cats.
  • Non-Core Vaccines: These are recommended based on your pet’s risk of exposure. For dogs, this might include vaccines for Lyme disease or kennel cough, and for cats, vaccines for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) may be recommended.

When to Start Vaccinating Your Pet

It’s essential to begin vaccinations early. Puppies and kittens should start their immunizations at about 6 to 8 weeks of age, with boosters scheduled throughout their first year. After the initial series, your pet will need regular boosters to stay protected.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Vaccination Update:

  • Your pet is overdue for their annual vet visit.
  • You have recently adopted a pet and are unsure of their vaccination history.
  • Your pet interacts frequently with other animals, increasing exposure risk.
