Here at Apricot Veterinary Clinic, we are firm believers in preventative care, especially when it comes to vaccines.
There are many potentially harmful (and sometimes deadly) diseases which can be prevented with vaccines. Why wouldn’t you want to protect your pets from these diseases?
Here at Apricot Veterinary Clinic, we are proud to offer a wide range of vaccinations. However, not every pet needs each one. It all depends on where you live and your pets’ lifestyle. For this reason, we recommend discussing both of these topics with our helpful staff and your veterinarian. We want only the best for your pets.
We believe vaccinations are important for your pets’ overall health, so be sure to keep your pets’ vaccinations up to date. If you have any questions about the vaccinations we offer or if you want to make sure your pets are current on their vaccinations, please contact us today at (209) 895-7387.
