Vaccinations: Protecting Your Pet
We offer a range of vaccinations to safeguard your pet against infectious diseases, starting in their early stages of life. Our puppy and kitten vaccines provide crucial protection during their vulnerable early months.
The key vaccinations we offer include:
- Rabies vaccines
- Distemper/parvo vaccines
- Bordetella.
Additionally, we administer other vaccines as needed based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors, and environmental exposure.
Avoiding Overvaccination: A Holistic Approach
At White Oak Animal Hospital, we believe in preventing disease while respecting your pet’s individual health needs. Being holistically trained, we understand the risks associated with overvaccination. Therefore, we carefully assess each pet’s vaccination history, lifestyle, and overall health before recommending vaccines. Our goal is to provide effective protection against diseases while minimizing the potential for vaccine-related adverse reactions.
Titers: A Smarter Approach to Immunization
In addition to vaccinations, we offer titer testing for distemper and parvo. Titer testing measures the concentration of antibodies in your pet’s bloodstream, indicating their level of immunity to specific diseases. This allows us to determine whether your pet requires revaccination or if their current immunity levels are sufficient to protect against disease. Titer testing provides valuable information that helps us make informed decisions about your pet’s vaccination needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of protection without unnecessary vaccination.
Understanding How Titers Work
Titer testing works by analyzing a small sample of your pet’s blood to measure the presence of antibodies against specific diseases. Antibodies are proteins the immune system produces in response to exposure to pathogens or vaccination. A titer test indicates the level of antibodies in your pet’s bloodstream, reflecting their immunity to a particular disease. Based on titer test results, we can determine whether your pet requires vaccination or if their current immunity levels are adequate for protection.
