Vaccinations

At The Path Home Veterinary Care, we consider vaccinations a key to keeping your pet healthy.

If you have a new puppy in your family, we start our young patients on a booster series of vaccines. As they grow into adults, we transition their vaccine schedule into two- and three-year immunization series. Current information shows that many vaccinations provide coverage for more than a year, which makes protection from those conditions easier to maintain. We vaccinate our patients on a case by case basis depending on their life style.
