Vaccinations
NLOL Animal Wellness Center strongly recommends vaccinations for your pet over the course of its lifetime based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk for disease exposure. Most vaccinations protect your pet against common diseases.

NLOL Animal Wellness Center recommends the following vaccinations based on your pets lifestyle and risk of disease:

  Dogs

Bordetella Vaccine (kennel cough) - to be given on a yearly basis. If your dog goes to the groomer, dog park, boarding facilities or is otherwise exposed to other dogs, you should consider this vaccination every six months

Rabies Vaccine - Maricopa and Pinal Counties require that dogs be vaccinated for rabies virus once every three years after they have completed their puppy series. Puppies receive a rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age and then one booster a year later

Distemper and Parvovirus Vaccine (DA2PP) - includes canine distemper virus, adenovirus (hepatitis), parvovirus and Parainfluenza. For adult dogs, this vaccine should be given once yearly. In older dogs, who have been properly vaccinated, a vaccine titer blood test can be done in order to determine if this should go on a rotating vaccine cycle

  Cats

FVRCP (feline distemper) - yearly following initial vaccine series

Rabies - every three years after the initial series depending upon risk and exposure

Feline leukemia - recommended for kittens up to one year of age that will be going outdoors or live in a household with additional cats, then yearly depending upon risk of exposure to the disease

Lifestyle and Risk Factors
The use of these vaccinations will be determined based on travel to other states and exposure to other pets at dog parks or boarding facilities. If your pet is at moderate risk for disease we may recommend yearly vaccines. However, if your pet’s risk is low we may suggest a vaccine titer, which could allow a vaccine to be administered on a three year rotation.

Flea and tick medicine is also important in Tennessee - ticks can carry and spread many diseases that can be harmful to both your pet and your family.
