Veterinary Vaccinations in Zebulon

The Importance of Vaccinating Your Pet

Vaccines help pets live longer, healthier lives. Protecting your pet is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccine schedule for your pet is important to us. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common.

Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up to date on their vaccinations.

Schedule your pet’s vaccination appointment by calling our Zebulon staff at (919) 375-4180 today.

Offering Vaccines to Help Your Pet Live a Long & Happy Life

Many vaccines are available for use in dogs and cats, but not every pet needs every available vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease. Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet’s life, as travel habits and other variables change. We will consider all these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have.
After evaluating these issues, we can provide you with the information you need to decide on the immunization program that best protects your pet.

Advantages of Vaccinations

There are two general groups of vaccines to consider: core and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines protect against diseases that are more serious or potentially fatal. These are diseases found in all areas of North America and more easily transmitted than non-core diseases.

Core vaccines include but are not limited to:

  • Disease Prevention: Vaccinations protect pets from a variety of contagious and potentially fatal diseases.
  • Community Health: Vaccinated pets contribute to community immunity, reducing the overall spread of diseases.
  • Longevity: Regular vaccinations enhance the overall health of pets, contributing to a longer and healthier life.
  • Cost-Effective: Preventing diseases through vaccinations is often more affordable than treating them.
  • Peace of Mind: Owners have confidence in their pet's protection and well-being with up-to-date vaccinations.
