Vaccination Details
At the ASPCA Vaccination Clinic, we understand that vaccination details can be overwhelming. Core vaccines are considered vital to all pets based on risk of exposure, severity of disease or transmissibility to humans.
For dogs, core vaccines include canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis, and rabies. Non-core vaccines are given depending on the dog's exposure risk.
Your veterinarian can best determine a vaccination schedule for your pet, taking into account the type of vaccine, your pet's age, medical history, environment, and lifestyle.
Understanding Vaccines
Vaccines are a crucial part of managing your pet's health, as they help prepare the body's immune system to fight off disease-causing organisms.
They contain antigens that look like the disease-causing organism but don't actually cause disease, which stimulates the immune system in a mild way. This prepares the immune system to recognize and fight off the real disease if it's ever encountered.
Not every pet needs to be vaccinated against every disease, and it's essential to discuss a vaccination protocol with your veterinarian that's right for your pet.
Factors that should be examined include age, medical history, environment, travel habits, and lifestyle. Most vets highly recommend administering core vaccines to healthy pets.
Fees
The fees for vaccinations at the clinic are straightforward and easy to understand. Rabies vaccinations cost $20, while DHPP vaccinations cost $25.
If you're planning to vaccinate your pet against multiple diseases, it's good to know that Bordetella and CIV vaccinations also cost $25 and $30, respectively. Leptospirosis vaccinations are an affordable $20.
