Why Vaccinations Are Critical for Dogs & Cats

Pets can be exposed to dangerous viruses and bacteria at home, in boarding facilities, or while socializing with other animals. Without proper dog immunizations or cat vaccines, pets are at risk for contagious, life-threatening diseases. Routine vaccinations not only protect your pet but also prevent the spread of infection to other animals and people.

Canine Vaccinations

Keeping dogs protected starts with canine vaccines tailored to age, lifestyle, and health risk factors. Vaccinations help prevent dangerous diseases and maintain overall wellness.

Bordetella vaccine helps protect dogs from kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection.
Rabies shot for dogs is required by law in Omaha and protects both dogs and people from this deadly virus.
Core canine vaccines prevent serious illnesses such as parvovirus, distemper, and leptospirosis.
Non-core vaccines such as Lyme disease are recommended based on lifestyle and environmental risk.
Dog immunizations are scheduled to maximize protection and may include boosters throughout your dog’s life.

How Dog Immunizations Work

Vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific infections. Puppies typically begin a series of canine vaccines at 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters given according to their age and lifestyle. Adult dogs require routine boosters to maintain protection.

At The Ridge Veterinary Clinic, we create a personalized vaccination schedule for every dog based on their health history, environment, and risk factors. This ensures your pet receives the proper dog immunizations for a long, healthy life.

Cats need protection against several serious diseases. Feline vaccines help keep indoor and outdoor cats healthy and prevent the spread of contagious infections.

How Cat Immunizations Work
