Pet Vaccination

Orchards Veterinary Clinic offers comprehensive pet vaccination programs tailored to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they receive the necessary protection based on their lifestyle, age, and health status.

Why Pet Vaccinations Are Important

Pet vaccinations are an essential preventive measure that shields pets from serious and often life-threatening illnesses. Vaccines work by introducing a harmless antigen that triggers your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases. This helps prevent severe illness and reduces the spread of certain zoonotic diseases—those that can be transferred from animals to humans, such as rabies and leptospirosis.

Customized Vaccination Plans for Your Pet

Every pet is unique, and so are their vaccination needs. At Orchards Veterinary Clinic, our veterinarians work with you to create a customized vaccination schedule based on several factors, including:

  • Indoor or Outdoor Lifestyle: Pets that spend more time outdoors may be exposed to different risks than indoor pets.
  • Travel, Grooming, and Boarding Habits: Pets who travel frequently or visit groomers or boarding facilities may need additional vaccinations.
  • Age and Health Conditions: We consider your pet’s age, underlying conditions, and immune health when designing their vaccination plan.

Core and Lifestyle Vaccinations

At Orchards Veterinary Clinic, we provide both core (required) and lifestyle-based vaccines:

  • Core Vaccines: Essential vaccines that all pets should receive, such as rabies and distemper.
  • Lifestyle Vaccines: Additional vaccines based on your pet’s activities and environment, including vaccines for bordetella (kennel cough) and leptospirosis.
