Vaccinations are a fundamental aspect of preventive veterinary care. They help to protect your pet against severe diseases while also contributing to the overall well-being of the local animal community. Deep River Veterinary Hospital, PC is proud to provide pet vaccination services to pet owners throughout the Greensboro, High Point, Jamestown, Kernersville, and Winston-Salem, NC communities. When you first bring a fresh puppy or kitten to us, we will them started on a routine vaccination schedule. We can guide you in determining the ideal vaccines to administer and when exactly to do so.

Some vaccines, such as the rabies vaccine, are required by law. Others fall into two main categories: core & non-core. Core vaccines are considered essential and administering them to most cats and dogs is standard practice. Non-core vaccines are used on more of an as-needed basis by considering an animal's lifestyle, environment, risk of exposure to specific diseases.

Core Vaccines for Canines: Rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus.

Non-Core Vaccines for Canines: Bordetella bronchiseptica, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, and canine influenza.

Core Vaccines for Felines: Rabies, feline calicivirus, feline herpesvirus type I, and panleukopenia.

Non-Core Vaccines for Felines: Feline leukemia virus, Bordetella, Chlamydophila felis, and feline immunodeficiency virus.

Pet owners will want to opt for more non-core vaccinations for dogs that spend time interacting with other dogs or wildlife in boarding facilities, dog parks, campgrounds, and hiking trails and cats that live mostly outdoors or with multiple other cats in the same household. Keeping up with a vaccination schedule will be part of your pet's regular check-up routine.  Remember, a healthy pet is a happy pet, and vaccines are a small investment in your animal’s health and wellbeing that can prevent costly treatments for preventable diseases in the future.
