Prepare to experience an unparalleled blend of expertise and compassion, where every vaccine dose is a promise of lasting health.

Why are vaccinations essential for my dog or puppy?

Vaccinations are the ultimate defense against a range of potentially fatal diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and kennel cough. They stimulate your pet’s immune system, thereby enhancing their ability to combat pathogens before they pose a serious threat to their health.

When should I start vaccinating my puppy for the first time?

We recommend starting the vaccination schedule at six to eight weeks of age, when maternal antibodies begin to wane. This early start is crucial for protecting young, vulnerable puppies from common diseases and for establishing a solid foundation for their long-term health.

What vaccines are available for dogs?

• Rabies (core)
• DAPP - Distemper/adeno/parvo/parainfluenza (core)
• Leptospirosis
• Lyme
• Bordetella (kennel cough)

What are the risks associated with not vaccinating my adult dog?

Non-vaccination exposes your dog to an increased risk of contracting potentially preventable diseases, and of developing serious complications that may require costly and prolonged treatment. By maintaining a regular vaccination schedule, you minimize these risks and ensure a better quality of life for your loyal companion.

At Timberlea Veterinary Clinic, we firmly believe that prevention is the key to a long and healthy life for your dog. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover how we can work together to keep your furry friend in top shape for years to come.
