Pet Vaccinations in Onondaga County
Pets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before in part because of vaccines that help protect them from deadly diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous infections have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up to date on their vaccinations.

Essential Vaccines for Your Pet's Health
Many vaccines are available for use in dogs and cats, but not every pet needs every available vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, whereas others are optional and may be recommended based on a variety of factors such as their risk for exposure and disease. These recommendations can also change throughout a pet’s life, as travel habits and other variables change. We will consider all these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have.
We understand that your pet is unique and that no single vaccine program will be ideal for every pet in every situation. Our doctors and other staff members are well-educated about veterinary vaccines, and our goal is to give you the best advice for keeping your pet healthy.
Let us develop a schedule and ongoing booster routine that accounts for your pet’s:
- Lifestyle
- Overall health
- Risk of exposure to infectious disease
Vaccines help pets live longer, healthier lives. Protecting your pet is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccination schedule for your pet is important to us.
Your Pet Vaccination Questions Answered
The frequency of booster vaccinations varies depending on the vaccine and your pet’s lifestyle. Our veterinarians will recommend a booster schedule based on your pet’s individual needs. Generally, core vaccines require annual boosters, while non-core vaccines may require boosters every three years or more.
If your pet misses a vaccination, it’s important to contact Liverpool Animal Health Center as soon as possible. In most cases, the vaccination schedule can be adjusted to catch up on missed doses. However, it’s essential to avoid significant gaps in vaccination protection.
