Pet owners that neglect pet vaccinations could cause themselves and their pets needless harm and frustration. Many places require Pet Vaccinations in Clifton VA before they accept the animal onto their property. Here is a small sample of the plans that may not work out as expected if the owner does not keep their pet on a vaccination schedule.
Forget About Vacation
Pet owners that plan to board their pet while away from home will need to schedule rabies and Bordetella vaccinations. Bordetella (kennel cough) is a requirement whenever a dog will be around many other canines. Most kennels expect cats to have an FVRCP and a rabies vaccine. FVRCP protects against rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. Plan to take the pets along? Remember that airlines also need health certifications that prove the animals have been fully vaccinated.
Groom at Home
Pet groomers want to keep all their clients healthy. Some will only ask for rabies certificates and others want full protection against rabies, distemper and Bordetella. It is not unusual for the groomer to strongly recommend coronavirus and canine influenza vaccinations, as well ask the owner for proof of flea and tick preventative use.
Walk Them Alone
Professional pet walkers and sitters want healthy and safe clients. Many companies and individuals will not provide their services to people that cannot present them with proof of an updated vaccination schedule.
Careful at Parks
Dog parks let people meet others with the same interests and allow pets to have fun. The biggest risk of having an unvaccinated pet in a public place is the vulnerability they have to every disease any other animal has tracked into the park. The dangers include wild animals that come through at night as well as pets.
The risk of some diseases is rare. Rabies, the best known and most feared viral disease in pets, affects only about 60 dogs and 200 cats per year in the entire United States. However, it is rare because of the availability of an effective vaccination. If contracted, the death rate is almost 100 percent and it is transmissible to all other animals in the home and to humans. Pet Vaccinations in Clifton VA are inexpensive, fast and safe.
