Vaccines
Vaccines are essential to keeping your pet healthy. By vaccinating your pet, you decrease the likelihood that your pet will face devastating diseases. It is important to continue vaccinating your pet throughout its life. Some vaccines require multiple boosters, and every booster is important.
Leukemia
Leukemia is a virus that can cause cancer in infected cats. There is no cure for leukemia. It is mainly transmitted by coming into contact with urine or saliva from an infected cat.
Pet Insurance
More and more pet owners are moving toward getting pet insurance on their pets. There are many options available, and each pet owner should shop around to find a company and plan that suits them best.
Rabies
Infectious Feline Diseases
All cats (indoor and outdoor) are at risk of several additional infectious diseases. Airborne diseases such as feline viral rhinotracheitis and feline calicivirus are very contagious and may be transmitted without any direct contact with an infected cat. Panleukopenia is a very contagious disease transmitted through bodily fluids. We vaccinate all of our feline patients against these diseases.
