KEEP YOUR PET & OTHERS SAFE

Like humans, vaccines for your pet help prevent illness and the spread of disease. The AVMA considers vaccinations to be one of the key ways to keep your pets happy and healthy throughout their lives. When you bring your pet to Buckner Animal Clinic, we’ll work with you to understand your pet’s needs and medical history before we recommend which vaccinations are best for your pet.

WHAT KIND OF VACCINATIONS DOES MY PET NEED?

The short answer to this question is: it depends. Our Dallas veterinarians will take many factors into consideration, like age, breed, sex, and lifestyle, before recommending a vaccination regimen that is right for your pet. Not all pets require the same vaccinations, and we’ll be sure to give your pet the vaccinations they personally need.

CORE VACCINATIONS

Core vaccinations are considered universally necessary based on factors like exposure risk, disease severity, or if a disease is transmissible to humans.

Core Vaccinations for Dogs

  • Canine parvovirus

  • Canine hepatitis

  • Distemper

  • Rabies

  • Lepto

  • Bordetella

Core Vaccinations for Cats

  • Feline calicivirus

  • Feline herpes virus type I

Our Dallas veterinarians may recommend other, non-core vaccinations depending on the needs of your pet.
