VACCINATIONS
At The Village Animal Hospital, we prioritize your pet’s health and well-being through comprehensive preventative care, including tailored vaccination protocols and effective parasite prevention strategies. Our vet in Alpharetta GA understands that each pet has unique needs based on their lifestyle, age, and environmental factors, which is why we customize our vaccination schedules accordingly.
Vaccination Protocols
Vaccinations are crucial in safeguarding your pet from various infectious diseases. For puppies, after completing the initial vaccination series, we recommend yearly vaccinations for leptospira (to combat bacterial infections), bordetella (for kennel cough), and borrelia (to protect against Lyme disease) as needed. Additionally, we advise administering rabies and DHPP (which protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) vaccines every three years to ensure long-lasting immunity.
For kittens, we follow a similar strategy. After the kitten vaccination series, we recommend annual vaccinations for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) as necessary, along with yearly rabies and FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis) vaccinations. Our vet in Alpharetta GA is always available to discuss your pet’s specific vaccination needs and to help determine the best protocol for their lifestyle.
If you have any questions about which vaccinations are right for your pet, please feel free to consult Dr. Segarra or any member of our dedicated team.
Parasite Prevention
In addition to vaccinations, parasite prevention is essential in maintaining your pet’s health. Both internal parasites (like hookworms, heartworms, and roundworms) and external parasites (such as ticks and fleas) pose serious health risks to pets and can even affect humans (known as zoonotic parasites).
To prevent these issues, we recommend routine examinations and laboratory testing to screen for parasites effectively. Our vet in Alpharetta GA can help you choose the right preventive medications to protect your furry companions. We carry a wide range of leading parasite prevention products, ensuring that we have the best options readily available at our practice.
At The Village Animal Hospital, our commitment is to provide the highest quality of veterinary care tailored to the unique needs of your pet. By combining personalized vaccination protocols with proactive parasite prevention, we help ensure your beloved pet remains healthy and happy for years to come.
