What We Can Discover and Prevent with Vaccinations

Vaccinations work by stimulating your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases before they can cause serious illness. At Adobe Veterinary Clinic, our vaccination services help prevent:

For Dogs:

• Rabies – A fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system
• Distemper – A highly contagious viral infection affecting multiple organ systems
• Parvovirus – A severe intestinal infection that can be deadly, especially in puppies
• Hepatitis – A viral infection that damages the liver and other organs
• Bordetella – Respiratory infection that cause kennel cough
• Leptospirosis – A bacterial infection that can affect kidneys and liver

For Cats:

• Rabies – Required by law in Arizona for all cats
• Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis – An upper respiratory infection
• Feline Leukemia – A virus that weakens the immune system

During vaccination visits, our veterinarians also perform comprehensive physical examinations that can help identify early signs of other health conditions, allowing for prompt treatment when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are pet vaccinations safe?
Yes, pet vaccinations are very safe. Serious adverse reactions are rare, and the benefits of protection far outweigh any minimal risks. Our veterinarians monitor pets after vaccination and are prepared to address any concerns.

Do indoor pets need vaccinations?
Absolutely. Even pets that live primarily indoors can be exposed to diseases through contact with other animals, contaminated objects, or even through open doors and windows. Arizona law also requires rabies vaccinations for all cats and dogs.

How often does my pet need vaccinations?
After the initial puppy or kitten series, most vaccines require annual boosters. Some vaccines, like rabies, may be given every three years after the initial series, depending on the vaccine type used.

What if my pet has missed vaccinations?
Don’t worry – it’s never too late to get back on schedule. Our veterinarians will assess your pet’s current immunity status and recommend the best approach to restore full protection.

Can I bring multiple pets for vaccinations at the same time?
Yes, we can accommodate multiple pets during the same visit, making it convenient for families with several furry friends.
