Vaccinations
Cornwallis Road Animal Hospital offers preventive vaccinations for your pet!
We follow vaccination guidelines from:
American Animal Hospital Association
American Veterinary Medical Association
Association of Feline Practitioners
Dog and Cat Vaccinations
We understand that your pet is unique and that no single vaccine program will be ideal for every pet in every situation. There is a variety of vaccines that are available for use in dogs and cats, but not every pet needs every available vaccine.
Our doctors and staff members are well-educated about veterinary vaccines. Our goal is to give you the best advice to keep your pet healthy. Let us develop a vaccination schedule and ongoing booster routine that accounts for your pet’s lifestyle, overall health, risk for exposure to infectious disease, and other factors. Protecting your pet is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccine schedule for your pet is important to us. Call us today to set up an appointment to discuss your pet’s vaccination needs.
