Why It’s Important to Vaccinate Your Dog and Cat
It’s important to have new pets vaccinated and we recommend you schedule a wellness visit with us to give your new bundle of joy a thorough examination as well. Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to disease as they’re weaned from their mother’s milk. They receive powerful antibodies as they’re nursed, but receive less as they grow bigger and aren’t nursing as much. Therefore, all pets should be vaccinated in their first few months of life. Dog and cat vaccinations help their bodies create their own antibodies. Puppies and kittens receive follow-up boosters to further strengthen their immune systems. Adult pets need maintenance vaccinations either annually or every three years, depending on their lifestyle. Many diseases are airborne and can be passed to your pet, even if they’re not very active outside. At Colma Animal Hospital, we’ll carefully discuss vaccinations suited for your pet’s specific lifestyle and needs.

We may decide to add vaccination from Leptospirosis to your dog’s vaccinations, if your dog is frequently around water or travels into moist climates.
