Dogs and cats should be kept current on their rabies vaccinations, for their benefit and for the sake of human health. Bat rabies is prevalent in NY State, and people are often unaware that an exposure has taken place. Raccoons, fox, and other wildlife also pose a threat with regard to rabies exposure.
The other core vaccines and non-core vaccines are administered according to AAHA guidelines, with each pet’s individual risk taken into account. We try to keep each of our patients safe from infectious disease, while taking great care to avoid overvaccination.
