Vaccination Information

A serious disease spread in the bat population, mammals including humans) are susceptible to Rabies virus which results in a fatal neurologic disease. Required by law in WA State and Moscow, ID due to the serious human health risk posed, all dogs aged 12 weeks and older should be vaccinated for Rabies. The first Rabies vaccine is valid for one year, with revaccination every three years thereafter for the life of the dog. Vaccination is very effective at preventing this fatal disease.

Combination vaccine containing strong protection against Distemper, Hepatitis/Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza. Vaccination should start between 6-8 weeks of age and be repeated at 3-4 week intervals through 16+ weeks of age to ensure immune competence. Revaccination is needed one year later, then every three years thereafter for all dogs.

For use as an aid in the prevention of serious, multi-organ & potentially fatal disease, spread in the urine of infected wildlife and prevalent in our region and worldwide. Dogs should have a series of two vaccinations 2-3 weeks apart starting at 12+ weeks of age, then every one year thereafter. Although non-core, our veterinarians recommend all canine patients receive this vaccine. Updates to the vaccination standard of care from the AAHA are expected, to include Lepto as a core canine vaccine.

For use as an aid to reduce the severity and duration of illness caused by a common respiratory bacteria. Dogs should receive this vaccine at 8 weeks of age, then every one year thereafter.

A serious viral disease spread in the bat population, mammals (including humans) are susceptible to Rabies virus which results in a fatal neurologic disease. Required by law in WA State and Moscow, ID due to the serious human health risk posed, all cats aged 12 weeks and older should be vaccinated for Rabies, including those that live exclusively indoors. Due to the purity of this vaccine formula, only relative short-term but effective immunity is achieved and annual revaccination is needed.

Combination vaccine containing Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (aka "Feline Herpes"), Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia.
