Additional Vaccinations for Pets

At Hope Island Vet Surgery, we understand that every pet has unique health needs and lifestyle factors that may increase their risk for certain diseases. That’s why, in addition to core vaccinations for pets, we offer a range of additional vaccinations designed to provide comprehensive protection for your furry friend. Our goal is to ensure your furry friend enjoys a long, happy, and healthy life by their side.

Tailored Protection Beyond Core Vaccinations

While core vaccinations cover diseases that all pets are generally at risk for, additional vaccinations are recommended based on your pet’s specific lifestyle, environment, and risk factors. These vaccinations offer an extra layer of protection against certain conditions that your pet may be exposed to.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Additional Vaccinations Offered:

For Dogs:

  • Leptospirosis: Recommended for dogs exposed to wildlife, standing water, or who live in or travel to areas with high rainfall.
  • Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Essential for dogs that frequent boarding facilities, dog parks, grooming salons, or any environment with a high concentration of dogs.
  • Canine Influenza: Advised for dogs that are socially active and those participating in dog shows, boarding, or daycare.
  • Lyme Disease: Recommended for pets in tick-endemic areas or those who frequently hike or spend time in wooded areas.

 

For Cats:

  • Feline Leukemia (FeLV): Important for outdoor cats or those who live with or have contact with outdoor cats.
