Canine Vaccines

Vaccines are an important part of preventative health care for our pets. Dogs are commonly vaccinated against some or all of the following diseases. Core vaccines should be given to all dogs, whereas non-core vaccines are given where indicated by your dog's lifestyle or the geographic area in which you live.

Rabies
A fatal viral disease that attacks the nervous system and that is contagious to humans.

Distemper
A viral disease that is often fatal, affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and often the nervous system.

Parvovirus
A viral disease that causes severe vomiting and diarrhea, and which can be fatal.

Bordetella
A bacterial infection that can cause or contribute to kennel cough.

Lyme
A bacterial disease spread by ticks that can cause arthritis and other problems such as kidney disease. Only a risk in certain geographic locations so not used routinely for every dog. Your vet can help you decide if your dog should have this vaccination.
