Are There Different Types of Pet Vaccinations?

There are two types of animal vaccinations - core and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines are those that your pet must receive, no matter the habits, environment, or age. Non-core vaccines are not required, but they may be recommended depending on your pet’s health, environment and lifestyle. At Pets4Life Animal Hospital  in Highland Park, we can administer both core and non-core pet vaccinations.‍

What are Core Dog Vaccinations?

We offer core vaccines for your dogs and puppies. These vaccines are necessary either annually or every three years, depending on your veterinarian’s recommendation. If not vaccinated, your dog is vulnerable to diseases that have significant morbidity and mortality, and in almost all cases, vaccines offer great protection. The core vaccines are rabies, canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine adenovirus (CAV).

‍What are Non-Core Dog Vaccines?‍

These dog vaccines in Highland Park are not required but should be considered if the pet has a risk of exposure due to lifestyle or geographic location. Non-core vaccines include canine influenza virus (CIV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPiV), Bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough), Leptospirosis, and Lyme disease.‍

What are Core Cat Vaccinations?

‍Pets4Life Animal Hospital offers kitten and cat vaccines as well. Most of these are recommended annually to tri-annually to keep your cat healthy. The Core Feline Vaccinations include rabies, feline calicivirus (FCV), feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV1) and feline panleukopenia (FPL).
