Why Vaccinations Are So Important

Vaccinations play a vital role in preventing serious illnesses in pets. By staying up to date on vaccinations, you’re not only protecting your pet but also helping to prevent the spread of contagious diseases within your local pet, livestock, and wildlife populations. Some diseases, like rabies, can even pose risks to humans, making vaccinations an essential part of responsible pet ownership.

At Olmito Veterinary Hospital, we follow the latest veterinary guidelines to ensure your pet gets exactly what they need—no more, no less. Our team will assess your pet’s risk factors, lifestyle, and health history to create a customized vaccination plan that keeps them protected without unnecessary treatments.

Core vs. Noncore Vaccines: What’s the Difference?

Core vaccines are essential for all pets, regardless of their lifestyle. These vaccines protect against highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases that pose massive health risks to animals and people alike.

Noncore vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and risk of exposure. While they are not required for every pet, they play a valuable role in protecting pets who are frequently outdoors, travel often, or interact with other animals.

Vaccinations for Dogs

Core Vaccines for Dogs

Rabies: Required by law, this vaccine protects against a fatal neurological disease that can be transmitted to other animals and people.
Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), & Parvovirus (DAP): This combination vaccine protects against several severe, contagious diseases that affect the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
Leptospirosis: Lepto is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted from animals to people and is commonly found in standing water and soil.

Noncore Vaccines for Dogs

Bordetella (Kennel Cough): This upper respiratory vaccine is recommended for dogs who visit groomers, boarding facilities, dog parks, or daycare.
Canine Influenza (Dog Flu): Also important for dogs in boarding facilities and daycare, the canine influenza vaccine helps prevent the spread of respiratory illness in social dogs.
Lyme Disease: While Lyme disease is not common in Texas, this vaccine is recommended for dogs in tick-heavy areas or those who hike, camp, or spend time in wooded environments.
Rattlesnake Vaccine: The rattlesnake vaccine helps reduce the severity of rattlesnake bites, giving you time to seek emergency veterinary care after a bite.
