For core vaccinations, these shots protect against illnesses that are highly contagious if your pet were exposed, and they carry a high risk to their health. Core vaccines include rabies for both dogs and cats, which is also a required shot for these pets throughout Florida. Canine Distemper, Parvovirus and Adenovirus are also considered core vaccinations for dogs, while Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, FeLV (kittens) and Panleukopenia are the core ones for cats.

Non-core vaccinations include any seasonal flu and Bordetella, as well as others that the veterinarian may suggest depending on the time of year or seasonal outbreaks. We always tailor your pet’s care to their specific needs with the goal of giving them the right amount of protection.
