Remember, even if your cat doesn’t leave the house, you do which could expose them to a health threatening issue. We recommend the following cat vaccines: Rabies, Feline Upper Respiratory, (FVRCP), and Feline Leukemia (FeLV).

A: Do we vaccine titer testing? Absolutely! If the titer tests come back with evidence that your pet does not need a vaccination, we will issue a certificate of titer’s present. Please note, this may not be sufficient for travel on some airlines or internationally.

A: Pet allergies are just one of the potential pet skin issue that you might encounter.
