Pet Vaccinations in Montrose, CO

Keeping your pet healthy and protected from various illnesses is a top priority. At Alta Vista Animal Hospital in Montrose, CO, we offer comprehensive pet vaccination services to ensure your pet remains in the best possible health. Our pet vaccine clinic is equipped to provide all necessary vaccinations, including those for puppies and kittens, to help build strong immunity from an early age.

Importance of Pet Vaccinations

Vaccinations play a crucial role in preventing diseases that can be harmful or even fatal to pets. Regular vaccinations keep your pet safe from infectious diseases and contribute to their overall well-being. New pets, particularly puppies and kittens, need to start a vaccination program as soon as possible in their first year of life, followed by booster shots as they grow.

Puppy and Kitten Vaccinations

At Alta Vista Animal Hospital, we offer specialized puppy and kitten vaccination packages designed to give your new pet a healthy start. During your pet’s first visit, we perform a comprehensive wellness exam and customize a vaccination schedule tailored to their specific needs and medical conditions.

Benefits of Regular Vaccinations

Disease Prevention: Vaccinations protect pets from various serious illnesses, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia.
Long-Term Health: Keeping up with vaccinations helps ensure your pet stays healthy throughout their life.
Community Health: Vaccinating your pet helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the community, protecting other animals as well.

When to Vaccinate Your Pet

Pets should start their vaccination schedule early in life. For puppies and kittens, the initial set of vaccinations typically begins at six to eight weeks of age, with booster shots given every few weeks until they are about 16 weeks old. Adult pets require regular booster shots to maintain immunity. Our veterinary team will help you determine the best vaccination schedule for your pet based on their age, health status, and lifestyle.

Parasite Prevention and De-worming

Alongside vaccinations, we recommend starting parasite prevention and de-worming promptly. Puppies are often born with worms and may not show visible symptoms, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial. Our parasite prevention program includes:

De-worming: Necessary for hookworm, roundworm, and tapeworm.
Parasite Prevention: Helps protect against ticks, fleas, mosquitos, and heartworm.

We also conduct fecal testing in our in-house laboratory to ensure your pet remains parasite-free.
