Pet Vaccinations

Protecting Your Pet with Preventative Care That Lasts

Vaccines are a simple and essential way to protect your pet from dangerous—and often deadly—diseases. At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we offer customized vaccination plans based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure they’re protected without over-vaccinating.

Why Vaccinate?

Vaccinations help prevent the spread of infectious diseases that can affect not only pets but also people. Staying up to date on your pet’s vaccines:

• Protects against serious illness
• Reduces the risk of disease outbreaks
• Meets requirements for boarding, grooming, and travel
• Saves on costly treatments for preventable conditions

Core Vaccines for Dogs

These vaccines are recommended for all dogs, regardless of lifestyle:

• Rabies: Legally required and protects against a fatal virus that can affect both pets and humans
• DHPP: A combination vaccine that protects against Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza
• Leptospirosis: Protects against a bacteria spread through wildlife and standing water; also a zoonotic disease
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended for social dogs or those who attend boarding, daycare, or grooming
• Canine Influenza: Protects against H3N2 and H3N8 strains, especially important for dogs exposed to group settings

Core Vaccines for Cats

These vaccines are recommended for all cats, whether indoor or outdoor:

• Rabies: Legally required and essential for safety
• FVRCP: A combination vaccine that protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia
• FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus): Recommended for kittens and outdoor or multi-cat households; may also be advised for indoor cats based on lifestyle

What to Expect

Our team will:

• Review your pet’s medical history and lifestyle
• Recommend a vaccination schedule that fits their individual needs
• Send reminders when boosters are due
• Provide vaccine certificates for travel, boarding, or grooming as needed

We also take a Fear Free approach to vaccinations, using gentle handling, distraction techniques, and treats to make the experience as stress-free as possible.

Stay Protected, Stay Healthy

Preventing disease is one of the most important things you can do for your pet’s long-term health.
