Pet Vaccinations in Houston
Vaccinations are one of the most important preventive health measures you can provide. They protect your pet from serious, potentially deadly diseases. At Aldine Mail Route Animal Hospital, we create individualized vaccination plans based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Why Vaccinations Matter
Vaccinations prevent serious diseases including:
– Rabies (fatal disease transmissible to humans)
– Distemper (highly contagious, often fatal)
– Parvovirus (causes severe, often fatal diarrhea)
– Feline leukemia (causes cancer-like symptoms in cats)
Vaccination Schedules
Puppies and Kittens – Multiple vaccines at 6-8, 10-12, and 14-16 weeks, then annual boosters
Adult Pets – Annual or tri-annual boosters depending on vaccine type
Senior Pets – Continue vaccinations with special consideration for health status
Core vs. Non-Core Vaccines
Core Vaccines – Recommended for all pets (rabies, distemper/parvovirus)
Non-Core Vaccines – Recommended based on lifestyle and risk (Lyme disease, feline leukemia, etc.)
