Pet Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a crucial part of protecting your pet from various diseases. At Burke Animal Clinic, we provide customized vaccination plans to keep your pet safe and healthy throughout their life.
Why Pet Vaccinations Are Important
Vaccinations safeguard pets by building immunity against contagious diseases. By staying current on their vaccines, your pet is less likely to contract or spread infections. Additionally, some vaccines are legally required to protect public health by preventing zoonotic diseases, such as rabies.
Routine vaccinations can help prevent:
- Rabies: A fatal viral disease that affects both pets and humans
- Distemper: A contagious virus that impacts the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems
- Parvovirus: A severe illness that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, particularly in puppies
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection that can spread to humans and cause kidney or liver damage
