Pet Vaccinations
A popular way to prevent disease in dogs or cats is through vaccination.
Vaccines activate an immune response that helps their bodies fight against specific diseases.
At All Creatures Animal Clinic, we offer core and non-core vaccines
for cats and dogs and a puppy and kitten vaccine series.
Vaccines can go a long way toward your pet’s happy and healthy life.
Without being vaccinated, your pet may be susceptible to severe illnesses that may be preventable.

Some states require rabies vaccination by law, yearly or every three years. Proof of vaccination is mandatory in such states.
Non-Core Pet Vaccines
Non-core pet vaccines are optional but are recommended for some dogs and cats based on their specific situation. An animal’s medical history or lifestyle may impact whether or not a veterinarian would encourage a non-core vaccine.
Speak to your veterinarian for more information. Here are examples of non-core vaccines in cats and dogs:
Cat Non-Core Vaccines
- Giardia
- Feline leukemia virus
- Chlamydophila felis
- Feline immunodeficiency
- Feline infectious peritonitis
Dog Non-Core Vaccines
- Giardia
- Lyme disease
- Leptospirosis
- Bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough)
Both core and non-core pet vaccines may have side effects, including fever, allergic reaction, and soreness at the injection site. Speak with your veterinarian if these symptoms persist.
