VACCINATIONS

At Imperial Point Animal Hospital, we believe prevention is the best medicine—and vaccinations are essential to keeping your pet healthy and protected. Whether you’re bringing in a new puppy, kitten, or your long-time companion, we offer customized vaccine plans tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk level.

Why Vaccinate?

Vaccines protect your pet from highly contagious and potentially serious diseases. Some vaccines are legally required, while others are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle. Keeping your pet up to date also helps protect other animals and people in the community.

Vaccines We Offer for Dogs

We offer both core and lifestyle-based (non-core) vaccines for dogs:

Core Vaccines (Recommended for All Dogs):

• Rabies – Legally required in Florida; protects against a fatal virus transmissible to humans.
• Distemper Combo (DA2PP) – Protects against Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.
• Bordetella (Upper Respiratory) – Commonly required for boarding, grooming, and daycare.

Lifestyle Vaccines (Based on Risk/Exposure):

• Leptospirosis – Spread by wildlife and standing water; can infect humans.
• Lyme Disease – Spread by ticks; ideal for dogs in wooded, grassy, or high-tick areas.
• Canine Influenza (Dog Flu) – Highly contagious respiratory infection that spreads in social settings.

Vaccines We Offer for Cats

Cats need protection, too—even if they stay indoors. We offer essential vaccines to keep them safe from serious feline diseases.

Core Vaccines (Recommended for All Cats):

• Rabies – Required by law; protects against a deadly virus that can spread to humans.
• FVRCP – Protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia—common and highly contagious viruses.

Lifestyle Vaccine (Recommended for At-Risk Cats):

• Feline Leukemia (FeLV) – A serious, contagious virus that weakens the immune system. Recommended for kittens, outdoor cats, and cats in multi-pet homes.

Vaccine Scheduling

Kittens and puppies require a series of vaccines starting at 6–8 weeks of age. Adult pets need boosters on an annual or triennial basis, depending on the vaccine and their health history. We’ll help you build and maintain the right schedule for your pet.
