August is here, and while your pet may be thinking “sunshine and treats,” we’re thinking about something just as important, vaccines!
At Social Circle Veterinary Hospital, we’re passionate about preventive care. Vaccines are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your furry friend from serious illness. They’re like a superhero shield for your pet’s immune system, keeping them safe from dangerous diseases and helping stop the spread to other pets (and sometimes even people!).
Not all vaccines are the same. Some are considered “core,” meaning all pets should have them, while others depend on your pet’s lifestyle—like how much time they spend outdoors or around other animals.
Here are a few of the major troublemakers we vaccinate against:
Your pet’s vaccine schedule will vary depending on age and lifestyle, but here’s the general idea:
Don’t worry, our veterinarians will help customize a plan that’s just right for your pet’s needs.
Think vaccines are a one-time thing? Not quite! Immunity can fade, and skipping boosters puts your pet at risk. That’s why keeping up with your pet’s shots is part of being a super-star pet parent.
When your pet is vaccinated, you’re helping protect vulnerable animals in your community too. It’s an easy way to do a whole lot of good.
We’re here to help! During your pet’s next wellness visit, we’ll review their records and recommend any updates based on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Is your pet already a patient? You can check your pet’s vaccination history anytime through PetPage, your personalized pet health portal.
