and therefore vaccines should be tailored to each individual pet’s lifestyle and needs.

Core vaccines are recommended for all dogs and cats. For dogs, these include Rabies and DA2PP. For cats, Rabies and FVRCP are considered core. These vaccines protect against serious and often fatal diseases.

Non-core vaccines are added based on your pet’s lifestyle, environment, travel habits, and exposure risks. Your veterinarian will help determine what’s appropriate during your visit.

For dogs, lifestyle-based vaccines may include Leptospirosis, Lyme (Borrelia), Bordetella, Canine Parainfluenza, and Canine Influenza.

For cats, risk-based vaccines include Feline Leukemia (FeLV), Chlamydophila (chlamydia), and Bordetella for cats with higher exposure potential.

After your pet completes their initial core vaccine series and the one-year booster, we can use annual titer testing to determine whether additional boosters are needed.

Incorporating titer testing: Titer testing helps us understand whether your pet has adequate immunity to core diseases or needs a booster. This tailored approach avoids unnecessary vaccines while ensuring your pet stays fully protected. Working collaboratively with pet parents helps us create the safest and most effective vaccine program for every patient.
