Vaccinations

Dog and cat vaccinations protect your pet from serious, preventable diseases. We build each vaccine schedule around your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risks here in Morgan Hill.

Our Story

Every Vaccine Has a Purpose. We Help You Know Which Ones Your Pet Needs.

Not every pet needs every vaccine. Your dog’s risk of leptospirosis depends on where they hike. Your cat’s risk of feline leukemia depends on whether they go outdoors. At Morgan Hill Animal Hospital, we build a vaccine plan around your pet’s actual life, not a generic checklist.

SERVICES

We systematically evaluate every part of your pet’s body, from checking eyes for cloudiness and ears for infection (using our video otoscope) to listening for heart murmurs, feeling for unusual lumps, and testing joint mobility. This thorough approach helps us detect subtle problems like early kidney disease or hidden tumors that pets instinctively hide from their owners.

We test for internal parasites through fecal analysis and check for external parasites like fleas and ticks that can transmit serious diseases. Based on your pet’s lifestyle and our local parasite risks, we’ll recommend the most effective prevention plan to keep your pet protected year-round.

Rather than over-vaccinating, we create a personalized vaccine schedule based on your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle risks. Indoor cats need different protection than hiking dogs, and we’ll ensure your pet gets exactly what they need, nothing more, nothing less.

We examine your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of periodontal disease, which affects 80% of pets over age three and can lead to heart, kidney, and liver problems. Early detection of dental issues means we can prevent painful infections and avoid costly extractions down the road.

We’ll discuss your pet’s diet, exercise habits, behavior changes, and home environment to provide personalized recommendations for optimal health. Whether it’s choosing the right food for your senior cat’s kidneys or exercise tips for your energetic puppy, we help you make the best decisions for your pet’s unique needs.

VACCINATIONS

Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo Protect Every Dog. Rabies and FVRCP Protect Every Cat.

What Vaccines Does My Dog Need?

Every dog needs a set of core vaccines recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association: rabies (required by California law), distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus, usually given together as a single combination shot. Beyond the core set, your dog’s lifestyle decides the rest. Dogs who board, get groomed, or spend time at daycare typically need a Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. Dogs who explore trails, standing water, or the rural stretches around San Martin and Gilroy often need leptospirosis protection too.

What Vaccines Does My Cat Need?

Cats need two core vaccines: rabies and the FVRCP combination, which covers feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. If your cat goes outdoors, or lives with other cats whose vaccine history you don’t know, we’ll also talk with you about the feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccine.

When Should My Puppy or Kitten Start Their Vaccines?

Puppies and kittens typically start their vaccine series around 6 to 8 weeks old, with boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks. Rabies vaccination follows California law and your veterinarian’s judgment, usually in that same window. Missing a booster isn’t the end of the world. Call us and we’ll help you get back on schedule.

Do Adult Dogs and Cats Need Vaccines Every Year?

It depends on the vaccine, not a blanket yearly rule. Your veterinarian will map out a booster schedule that fits your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle. [Placeholder: booster and titer-testing protocol details pending confirmation.]

What Does a Vaccine Visit Cost?

We believe in upfront, transparent pricing. You’ll get a written estimate before we vaccinate your pet, so there’s never a surprise on the bill.
