In this article, we’ll explore the types of vaccinations we offer, the importance of vaccines, and why ADI is the right choice for your pet’s vaccination needs.
What Are Pet Vaccination Services?
Pet vaccination services are designed to protect pets from infectious diseases, some of which can be fatal if left untreated. By administering vaccines, we help build immunity in your pet’s body, ensuring that they stay protected against common and dangerous illnesses.
Vaccinations are a critical part of preventive care. At ADI, we offer a full range of vaccines for both cats and dogs, providing them with protection from a variety of diseases, from parvovirus in dogs to rabies in both dogs and cats.
Vaccination Services for Dogs
Protecting your dog from common diseases starts with the 5-in-1 and 7-in-1 vaccines. Here’s what each of them covers:
1. 5-in-1 Vaccine
The 5-in-1 vaccine is a powerful combination designed to protect dogs from five common yet serious diseases:
- Canine Distemper: A viral infection that causes fever, sneezing, and coughing, and can be fatal.
- Parvovirus: Causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration, and can be life-threatening.
- Infectious Canine Hepatitis: Affects the liver and kidneys, leading to severe complications.
- Kennel Cough: A contagious respiratory infection causing coughing, sneezing, and nasal discharge.
- Parainfluenza Virus: Similar to the human flu, leading to respiratory issues and potential pneumonia.
The 5-in-1 vaccine is typically administered as a first dose when your puppy is six weeks old, followed by two additional doses with the 7-in-1 vaccine to complete the primary immunization schedule.
2. 7-in-1 Vaccine
The 7-in-1 vaccine offers broader protection, including everything in the 5-in-1 vaccine and two additional diseases:
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection transmitted through contaminated water or urine, causing kidney and liver failure.
- Coronavirus: A digestive disease that can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
- Rabies: A deadly viral infection that is transmissible to humans and can be fatal.
Dogs start receiving the 7-in-1 vaccine at six weeks of age, and a booster shot is recommended yearly to maintain immunity.
Vaccination Services for Cats
Just like dogs, cats need vaccinations to stay healthy. The most common vaccine for cats is the 4-in-1 vaccine, which protects against:
- Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV): A deadly disease caused by the parvovirus, requiring annual boosters.
- Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus (FRV): Causes respiratory symptoms, similar to a cold or flu.
- Calicivirus (FCV): A respiratory virus that spreads through saliva and nasal secretions.
- Chlamydia Psittaci: Causes respiratory infections in cats.
Rabies is another serious disease for cats, and it is also included in their vaccination schedule.
Why Are Pet Vaccination Services Important?
1. Disease Prevention
Vaccines are the first line of defense against many serious diseases. Regular vaccinations help prevent the spread of these diseases and protect your pet from life-threatening illnesses.
2. Early Immunity
Vaccinating your pet at a young age ensures they develop immunity to prevent infection. Puppies and kittens should receive their first vaccinations between 6 and 8 weeks of age to protect them while their immune system is still developing.
3. Protection for Humans
Some pet diseases, such as rabies, are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted to humans. Vaccinating your pets ensures not only their safety but also the safety of your family.
4. Peace of Mind
Regular vaccinations give pet owners peace of mind knowing that their pets are protected from dangerous diseases. It ensures that your pet stays happy and healthy, minimizing the risk of unexpected medical emergencies.
