What is the Distemper/ Parvo (combo) Vaccine?

The DAPPV (combo) vaccine is a modified live virus vaccine for the vaccination of healthy dogs as an aid in the prevention of a disease caused by Canine Distemper virus, Canine Adenovirus type 1 (hepatitis), Canine Parainfluenza and Canine Parvovirus.

What is the Bordetella Vaccination?

The Bordetella is a noncore vaccine that is given to dogs that are frequently exposed to dogs in boarding or social settings; that is because Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common bacterial agent responsible for “kennel cough” in dogs.

What is the Lepto Vaccine?

Leptospirosis is caused by the Leptospira bacteria, a type of motile bacteria called a spirochete. The bacteria occur in the urine of animals that have the disease. They survive in water such as streams, ponds and puddles, especially during warmer, rainy seasons. They are also more common in tropical climates where there’s likelihood of standing water or flooding. Rat infestations in densely populated urban areas can also be a factor.

Rabies Vaccine

The rabies vaccination is an excellent preventative of this fatal illness, transmittable across many different species, including humans.

What is the cat distemper/ Panleuk combo vaccine?

The HCPCH vaccine is a modified live virus and chlamydia vaccine for the vaccination of healthy cats and aid in the disease caused by feline rhinotracheitis, calci, and panleukopenia viruses and chlamydia psittatci.

• Rhinotracheitis: respiratory disease caused by herpesvirus -1. “Rhinotracheitis” means inflammation of the nose, windpipe, or trachea.
• Calicivirus: a highly contagious virus that causes a mild to severe respiratory infection and oral disease in cats.
• Panleukopenia Virus: a viral disease in cats often called feline distemper, however it mimics in cats the parvovirus symptoms seen in dogs (namely vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea). It is highly contagious and can be fatal, especially in kittens.
• Chlamydia psittatci: infection caused by a bacterial organism (called Chlamydia Felis)

De-Worming Medicine

At the shelter we use “Pyrantel,” it is used to treat intestinal roundworm, hookworm and stomach worms.

Microchipping

An implant of a microchip under the skin of a domestic animal, as a means of identification. The shelter will take the microchip number provided with the microchip and will transfer the microchip into the owners name, so that if the animal is lost the person that found the animal can take the animal to a local shelter or a vet to be scanned. The owner can be notified with the location of the animal if the animal has a microchip.
