Updated 2020: We require that dogs be vaccinated against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, Bordetella (kennel cough) and Leptospirosis (Zoonotic). Cats should be vaccinated against rabies, panleukopenia (feline distemper) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV-goes outdoors ). Note: Lyme and Influenza vaccine are available for dogs. At this time we feel any dog on appropriate parasite prevention with a 4-Dx test done at a minimum annually (blood test that checks for heartworm and vector borne diseases -Ticks ) this represents a very sound approach with or without the Lyme vaccination. Ferrets should be vaccinated for canine distemper and rabies. Our veterinarians (Health Care Team) will always customize a vaccination program for every individual pet.  Many of these diseases  may not only have serious illness but can be fatal (eg Rabies). We are so fortunate to have readily available VACCINES that not only SAVE LIVES but have optimal efficacy and safety!
