Pet Vaccinations & Preventive Care
Routine vaccinations and parasite prevention help our Orléans veterinary team protect your cat or dog from a wide range of harmful disorders and diseases.
Maintaining Long-Term Pet Health
At Gloucester Veterinary Hospital, we focus on preventive care to keep common diseases and disorders from impacting your pet's health in the first place.
When paired with annual wellness exams and parasite prevention, regularly scheduled vaccinations are the cornerstone of your pet's annual preventive care. These services are designed to preserve your pet's optimal health, helping avoid the development of diseases that require expensive treatments.
Preventive care gives your pet their best chance at living a long, healthy life. Our team will first assess your pet's risk factors and lifestyle, then work with you to establish a custom preventive care plan that meets your pet's unique needs.
Dog & Cat Vaccination Schedule
Dogs and cats should receive the following vaccines throughout their life to help protect them from a range of serious diseases:
Cat & Kitten Vaccines
Dog & Puppy Vaccines
Spaying & Neutering
Spaying or neutering your cat or dog prevents the birth of litters, protects against illnesses, and can prevent unwanted behaviours like urine marking or aggression.
These surgical procedures are performed while your pet is under general anesthesia.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites can pose a large threat to the health and longevity of your cat or dog, and can sometimes even be transmitted to other pets or people living in your household.
Our parasite prevention products help protect your pet from common parasites, including fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworms and more.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a permanent form of identification in which a tiny microchip is placed under the skin of cats and dogs to increase the chances of being reunited with their owners in the event that they become lost.
The process is virtually painless, so pets can be microchipped during their first wellness checkup, but many pet owners choose to have this procedure performed during their pet's spay or neuter surgery.
