Are There Different Types of Pet Vaccinations?

There are two types of animal vaccinations - core and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines are those that your pet must receive, no matter the habits, environment, or age. Non-core vaccines are not required, but they may be recommended depending on your pet’s health, environment, and lifestyle. Here at Wasatch Hollow Animal Hospital, we can administer both core and non-core pet vaccinations in Ogden, UT.

What are Core Dog Vaccinations?

We offer core vaccines for your dogs and puppies. These vaccines are necessary either annually or every three years, depending on your veterinarian’s recommendation. If not vaccinated, your dog is vulnerable to diseases that have significant morbidity and mortality, and in almost all cases, vaccines offer great protection. The core vaccines are canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV), canine adenovirus (CAV), and rabies.

What are Non-Core Dog Vaccines?

These dog vaccines in Ogden are not required but should be considered if the pet has a risk of exposure due to lifestyle or geographic location. Non-core vaccines include canine influenza virus (CIV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPiV), Bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough), Leptospirosis, and Lyme disease.

What are Core Cat Vaccinations?

Wasatch Hollow Animal Hospital offers kitten and cat vaccines as well. Most of these are recommended annually to tri-annually to keep your cat healthy. The Core Feline Vaccinations include feline calicivirus (FCV), feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV1), feline panleukopenia (FPL), and rabies.

What are Non-Core Cat Vaccinations?

The non-core feline vaccinations in Ogden are optional. The need for these will depend on your cat’s age, lifestyle, and location. These vaccines include the following: feline leukemia virus (FeLV), Bordetella bronchiseptica, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and Chlamydophila felis.Pet vaccines are necessary from the time your pet is a kitten or puppy. As with people, pets need vaccines in order to live a long and healthy life. Protect your pets from disease and schedule your visit today. Call us at (801) 689-2244 right now!

Remember The Magic Date: 16 Weeks!

Puppy vaccines are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to stimulate your pet’s immune system to produce antibodies (the “good guys”) to fight the viral antigens (the “bad guys”) like distemper and parvovirus.

Timing is KEY to these early vaccines and here is why:

New mothers naturally produce colostrum (the mother’s first milk), and as long as she was properly vaccinated, her puppies will receive “maternal antibodies” by means of this colostrum.

For up to 14 weeks, these maternal antibodies serve to protect the puppies. After this, the antibodies start to lessen and the puppies’ own immune system will begin responding to infections.

Because of this, we recommend vaccinating puppies at: 8 weeks, 11 weeks, 14 weeks, and 17 weeks of age to ensure adequate protection and immune system development.

What if your puppy is older than 16 weeks and has not received any vaccines yet?
If your puppy is older than 16 weeks of age, we recommend 2 DA2PP vaccines 3–4 weeks apart to provide adequate protection.

What about vaccines after the puppy shots?
Your dog will need a 1-year booster of the DA2PP at 1–1½ years of age depending on when the last puppy vaccine was administered. This is to ensure that your pet has an appropriate immune response when exposed to these infections. After the booster, your pet will then be placed on a 3-year protocol.
