CAT AND DOG VACCINATIONS IN WICKER PARK, CHICAGO
You can’t protect your pet by keeping them in a bubble, but you can have them vaccinated regularly. Companion Animal Hospital Wicker Park uses only the safest vaccines for dogs and cats and follows protocols that prevent overvaccination. While preventing the spread of disease is paramount, it’s also important that we vaccinate your pet only when they truly need it. That’s why we aim to get to know your pet and provide them with a customized vaccine plan.
PET VACCINATIONS TO PROTECT YOUR PET
The diseases that can affect our four-legged friends are a very real threat. Not only because some, such as rabies and distemper, are deadly, but because they can spread very quickly and easily. Some disease-causing bacteria can live on surfaces for more than 24 hours. One sneeze can spread the flu to other dogs, and just one bite can infect a pet with rabies, distemper, or leukemia (cats).
Overall, pet vaccinations are an easy, tried-and-true way to protect your pet from these and other diseases.
