The Importance of Vaccinating Your Pets

When getting a new puppy or kitten, you may wonder if getting him vaccinated is really that important. At The Veterinary Hospital, serving Eugene, OR, we are happy to advise all of our clients on the importance of vaccinations. While we treat each pet as an individual and strive to give them the best in personalized care, the one thing we believe they have in common is that they all need vaccines.

Pet Vaccinations

Our team will guide you through the process and develop a schedule that is right for your pet. In the meantime, here is some information regarding the importance of vaccinating your pet.

●             Vaccines will protect your pet from highly dangerous illnesses.

●             Vaccinating your pet will keep him from spreading disease to other animals and humans.

●             You will save your pet from pain and suffering that many diseases can cause.

●             In the long run, you will save money and trips to the vet treating diseases that are preventable with vaccines.

●             Some boarding facilities, groomers, and daycare facilities require your pet to be vaccinated against certain diseases.

Which Vaccinations Are Needed?

All pets are recommended to have core vaccines, which includes rabies and distemper. The need for non-core vaccines will be determined by your pet’s circumstances, such as where you live and your pet's lifestyle. For example, a vaccine for Lyme may be recommended if you reside in a heavily wooded area.
