Pet Vaccinations | Pet Vaccination Clinic

At AV Veterinary Center in Lancaster/Palmdale, our number one goal is to protect your pet’s health through preventive care. One of the best ways to protect your pet from serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses is with vaccinations! Pets can be exposed to illness from several areas, including contact with other animals, the environment, or the routine activities of their daily lives. So it is essential that an appropriate vaccination program is established and maintained for the lifetime wellness of your pet.

Pets do not face the same health risks. Lifestyle, age, environment, and region (i.e., the prevalence of disease) can all have an effect on the types of vaccinations to be recommended. As such, pets in Southern California may have a variety of exposure risks from pets in other regions. The veterinary staff at AV Veterinary Center in Lancaster/Palmdale evaluates each pet’s individual circumstances when determining appropriate pet vaccines according to regional weather and the pet’s daily lifestyle requirements. In addition, the veterinary staff will give you advice on which vaccines are needed, including those needed for boarding, grooming, or travel.

When making a decision about which vaccinations to administer to your pet, always consult with a licensed veterinarian. The comprehensive evaluation includes reviewing your pet’s medical records, discussing any changes in behavior or health that may have occurred recently, and performing a complete physical examination on your pet (head to tail). Since pets tend to hide illness, the veterinarian may pick up on health concerns that may not be apparent to a pet owner. This thorough evaluation of your pet’s health allows for vaccinations to be safely and appropriately given.
