CANINE VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS
General Practice Preventative Medicine
GUIDELINES
Vaccinations (immunizations, "shots") have saved the lives of millions of dogs. Before the days of effective vaccines, dogs routinely died from distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus and complications of upper respiratory infections. Current vaccination programs protect our dogs (and us) from the threat of rabies. Newer vaccines, including those administered through the nostrils, have been developed to protect against a variety of infections.

Fleas
Not only are we seeing fleas but there is a bumper crop of TICKS this year, too! Not all products protect your animal from ticks, so make sure you are treating them for the area they live in. You will see ticks if you live near a wooded area, or if you walk your pet in a park. Frontline and Revolution will kill the ticks, but Comfortis and Trifexis do not.
If you do find a tick on your pet make sure to remove it carefully. Ticks do carry several diseases that can potentially make your pet sick.
If you are experiencing a flea/tick problem make sure you are treating ALL pets in your house AND the environment. It can take 3 to 4 months of diligence to remove these pests.
