Vaccination Keeping your pet’s vaccinations current is an important part of an overall health program to protect your pet against disease and illness. There are several vaccines that may be required and our veterinarians will determine your pet’s needs based on his age, size and living arrangements. Our doctors always perform an examination of your pet before giving vaccines to ensure there are no health issues that would suggest that vaccinations not be given. The State of Texas requires rabies vaccination for dogs and cats. In addition, your dog may need some or all of the following vaccines: distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, kennel cough and corona. Rattlesnake vaccine is now available to protect dogs if they are bitten and we recommend all hunting dogs receive this vaccination. Cats may need vaccination against distemper and feline leukemia, especially if they spend time outdoors. |
