Importance Of Vaccinating Your Pet

The Importance of Pet Vaccines at Valley Animal Hospital

At the Valley Animal Hospital, our top priority is to take care of the pets and families in Clifton. Our veterinary services include vaccines. It is important for everyone to be familiar with the importance of pet vaccinations. Our vet team understands that there has been a lot of discussion regarding vaccines on the internet. There is no debate in the medical community. Vaccinations are safe and they work. There are a few important points that everyone should note about pet vaccines.

Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?

At Valley Animal Hospital, we cannot stress the importance of pet vaccinations enough. The goal of cat vaccines given by a vet is to make sure that the pet is protected against dangerous diseases and illnesses. When a pet owner provides their pet with a vaccine, they are protecting not only that pet but also other pets and people against diseases. There are some pets and people who cannot get vaccines. Perhaps they are too young or maybe their immune systems are too weak. They rely on everyone else to get their shots.

How Pet Vaccines Work

One of our most important veterinary services at Valley Animal Hospital is vaccines. These are shots that are given to pets to produce antibodies. When a pet receives a shot, he or she will make antibodies against the proteins in the shot which are representative of a virus or bacteria. Then, when the pet encounters the illness down the road, the pet already has antibodies. These antibodies can fight off the illness with ease, making it harder for the pet to get sick. In this manner, vaccines are a critical part of what we do for pets at Valley Animal Hospital.

  • "Dr. Henderson is a caring Vet. We love him.
    We do not, however, love the prices Vets charge. It is more for a pet visit than a human being. I don't know how people with more than one animal afford pet care."
