Vaccinations
A well-managed vaccination protocol is the foundation of a sound preventative health program.  Although annual vaccinations are appropriate for most diseases and most pets, extended protocols may be appropriate for some dogs and cats.  Your veterinarian will assess your pet's risk factors and tailor an individual vaccination program for your pet.
