Vaccine Clinic

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.

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.

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

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.
