PET VACCINATIONS

Pets need all the love and care you can provide. Healthcare is an important part of their daily routine.

Vaccinating them on time is necessary to prevent many diseases and maintain their quality of life. You can vaccinate your pet at several locations, but it's not just about vaccination. Your pet needs love, care, and a stress-free environment.

You don't need to look far for Pet Friends to get the best vaccination services for pets. The veterinary treatment and vaccination services provided by Pet Friends are superior and among the best in Dubai.

Why Are Essential Vaccines Important?

Essential vaccines play a crucial role in safeguarding the health of your pet. By administering vaccines, you can effectively prevent your pet from falling ill. These vaccines offer protection against life-threatening diseases such as rabies and distemper, which have the potential to cause brain damage and even death in certain animals. Additionally, they serve as a means of ensuring the safety of your family by preventing the transmission of diseases that can be contracted through contact with rodents or other animals (such as zoonotic viruses).

While vaccines can be administered at any stage of life, they hold particular significance during early childhood when infants possess limited immunity against diseases. The optimal time for vaccination lies between one and four weeks of age, as this is when their immune systems are most active and capable of producing antibodies to combat germs.

Benefits Of Pet Vaccination

When you vaccinate your pet, it is important to have them examined by a veterinarian. If you do not have access to a vet, there are still ways to prevent the spread of disease. Vaccination can decrease the severity and risk of death from certain illnesses, ultimately saving your pet's life.

Vaccines contain antibodies that target specific proteins on the surface of viruses or bacteria. These antibodies bind to these proteins and trigger an immune response that prevents future infections by eliminating them before they can spread throughout your pet's body.

In the vibrant city of Dubai, where the well-being of pets is a top priority for many families, the concept of comprehensive pet care, including vaccination and microchipping, is gaining popularity. As part of the pet vaccination service in Dubai, many veterinarians now recommend microchipping as an essential procedure. This small chip, implanted during a routine vaccination appointment, provides a permanent solution for pet identification, significantly increasing the chances of a lost pet being reunited with its owner. Combining microchipping with regular pet vaccination in Dubai ensures not only the health of your furry companions through immunization but also provides a secure method of tracking and protecting them. This integrated approach to pet care in the bustling city ensures that our beloved animals are not only healthy but also easily identifiable at all times.

Cat Vaccination

Contrary to popular belief, your cat does not possess nine lives. It is crucial to ensure that your cat receives all the necessary vaccinations, including seasonal ones. At Pet Friends in Dubai, our veterinarians offer expert assistance in immunizing your cat with the best vaccines available. There are two main types of vaccinations for cats:

Core vaccines

  • FVRCP
  • Rabies Vaccine
  • FPV Vaccine
  • FHV-1 Vaccine

Non-Core Vaccines

  • FeLV

The core vaccinations may also be delivered to a cat with a medical problem.

Dog Vaccination

Dogs may be one of the most loyal pets you can own, but keeping up with their vaccinations is a big responsibility. There is no need to worry about the Bet Friends Dubai vaccine, as we have a team of qualified animal immunization specialists. There are essential and non-essential vaccinations for dogs. Our veterinarians will help you understand the schedule of vaccinations for your pet dog and determine the best way to ensure that your dog lives a healthy life.

Core vaccines

  • Rabies
  • Distemper
  • Parvovirus
  • Adenovirus-Type 1
  • Adenovirus-Type 2

Non-core vaccines

  • Parainfluenza
  • Bordetella bronchiseptica
  • Canine influenza
  • Leptospirosis
  • Lyme disease

What Are The Contraindications Of Pet Vaccination?

There are several contraindications for pet vaccination that pet owners should be aware of.

  • Pregnant animals should not be vaccinated as it can harm the fetus.
  • Animals that are underweight or overweight should be evaluated by a veterinarian before receiving vaccinations.
  • Pets that have recently been vaccinated or are on immunosuppressive medication may not be suitable candidates for vaccination due to the risk of adverse reactions.
  • Cats with upper respiratory infections should not receive a rabies vaccine.

It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine if your pet is a suitable candidate for vaccination.

FAQs

How often should my pet receive vaccinations?

It is important to ensure that your pet is vaccinated annually, although some vaccines may be administered every three years or once a year. These are referred to as "annual" or "continuous" vaccinations. In certain cases, pets may require more frequent vaccinations, especially if they have been exposed to harmful diseases.

There are also vaccines that are given every six months or even less frequently, such as every two weeks. However, if this type of vaccine is administered regularly at home, it is not considered an annual vaccination and may not provide the same level of protection against diseases as annual vaccinations would.

How much does pet vaccination cost?

Vaccinations are a cost-effective way to protect your pet from diseases. They are covered by many insurance plans and can be expensive, but they are worth it.

If you have an older dog or cat that has received many vaccinations in its lifetime (and therefore requires fewer injections), the price may be lower than what you would pay for a puppy or a kitten that is just starting on its path to health maintenance.

If you do not have health insurance coverage for vaccinations, check with your veterinarian about payment options before scheduling an appointment - they may offer discounts or require upfront payment if you are unable to afford the costs at the current time.

How can I determine if my pet has been vaccinated?

If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult your veterinarian. They can provide you with information about your pet's vaccination status and the specific vaccines they have received. If there are no vaccination records available for your pet, it is important to schedule a vaccination appointment as soon as possible.

What are the potential side effects of pet vaccinations?

The side effects of pet vaccinations are usually mild, but they can vary depending on the vaccine and your pet. Some vaccines may cause more side effects than others. Your veterinarian can assess if your dog or cat is likely to experience any issues from a specific vaccine by examining them after administration. Some possible side effects include:

  • Fever
  • Rash or irritation at the injection site (redness)
  • Loss of appetite

How long does it take for a pet to recover from vaccination

The recovery period for pets after vaccination varies, but it generally takes a few days for the vaccine to become effective. While immediate protection may not be visible, the vaccination does offer lifelong immunity against diseases. It is important to administer the vaccine at least two weeks prior to potential exposure to ensure that your pet can build immunity and prevent infection. It is important to note that vaccination does not guarantee 100% protection against all diseases, but it does help protect against the most common illnesses in dogs and cats. Less common diseases like parvovirus or rabies may still pose a risk.

Since animals spend most of their time walking and lying down on the ground, their skin is more prone to contracting infections and to being aggravated.
