🦇💉 Rabies: One vaccine you REALLY don’t want to skip!

Rabies is a deadly viral disease that affects the nervous system and can spread to dogs, cats, wildlife, and people—usually through the bite of an infected animal.

🐶 Dogs: Curious noses can lead to unexpected wildlife encounters.

🐱 Cats: Even indoor cats aren’t completely risk-free! Bats can find their way inside homes, and indoor cats occasionally find their way outside. 😬

The good news? Rabies is preventable through vaccination! ❤️🐾

Keeping your pet’s Rabies vaccine current helps protect your pet, your family, and your community—and keeps them compliant with local vaccination requirements.

📞 Not sure when your dog or cat is due? Give 43rd Avenue Animal Hospital a call and we’ll help you check!

🦇 Because when it comes to rabies, “but my pet stays inside” isn’t a prevention plan. 💉🐕🐈

🐱💉 FVRCP: A bunch of letters your cat doesn’t care about…but you should!

The FVRCP vaccine helps protect cats against three potentially serious and highly contagious diseases:

🤧 FVR — Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis: A major cause of upper respiratory infections in cats.

🦠 C — Calicivirus: Can cause respiratory illness, mouth ulcers, fever, and other complications.

⚠️ P — Panleukopenia: A highly contagious and potentially deadly disease, especially dangerous for kittens.

And yes—indoor cats need protection too! Some viruses can be brought into the home on contaminated objects, and you never know when an indoor kitty might unexpectedly become an outdoor adventurer. 🏃‍♀️🐈💨

Not sure if your cat is up to date on their FVRCP vaccine? Give 43rd Avenue Animal Hospital a call and we’ll help you check! ❤️🐾

Your cat may give the vaccine 0 stars. ⭐☆☆☆☆
We still recommend it. 😂

💉🐶 Distemper. Parvo. Lepto. Three things your dog definitely doesn’t want.

🦠 Distemper is a highly contagious virus that can affect the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems.

💩 Parvo can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and life-threatening illness—especially in puppies.

💦 Lepto can be picked up from contaminated water, soil, or urine from infected wildlife. It can cause serious kidney and liver disease—and people can get it too!

The good news? Vaccination helps protect your pup. ❤️🐾

Not sure if your dog is up to date? Give 43rd Avenue Animal Hospital a call and we’ll check!

Because sniffing questionable things is already your dog’s full-time job. Protecting them is ours. 😂🐕

🐱💉 Feline Leukemia: Because your cat’s social life matters, too!

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a contagious virus that can weaken a cat’s immune system and lead to serious illness.

It can spread between cats through close contact—including saliva, mutual grooming, shared food and water bowls, and bite wounds. 🐈🐈‍⬛

💉 The FeLV vaccine helps protect cats at risk of exposure and is especially important for kittens and cats who spend time outdoors or interact with cats of unknown FeLV status.

“But my cat NEVER goes outside!”
We hear you. 😹 Risk can change, though—doors get left open, cats escape, and sometimes a new kitty joins the family.

Not sure if the FeLV vaccine is appropriate for your cat? Ask the team at 43rd Avenue Animal Hospital! We’ll help determine what makes sense based on your kitty’s age, lifestyle, and individual risk. ❤️🐾

Protect the floof. Vaccinate the floof. Accept judgment from the floof. 🐱💉

💉🐶 Lepto & Canine Influenza: Two vaccines your dog may need on their résumé!

🐀 Leptospirosis (Lepto) can be spread through urine from infected wildlife and contaminated water or soil. Puddles, wet yards, and wildlife visitors can all create opportunities for exposure—and Lepto can spread to people, too.

🤧 Canine Influenza (Dog Flu) is a contagious respiratory infection that can spread between dogs, especially anywhere pups gather—boarding, daycare, grooming facilities, dog parks, or other social settings.

Vaccination can help protect your pup and reduce the risk of serious illness. ❤️🐾

Not sure if your dog should receive Lepto or Canine Influenza vaccines? Ask our team! We can help determine what makes sense based on your dog’s lifestyle and risk factors.

📞 Give 43rd Avenue Animal Hospital a call to check your pup’s vaccine status!

🌧️🐾 Rain, rain, bring the puddles… but watch out for Lepto!

Rainy weather means wet yards, puddles, and standing water—and those can increase your pet’s exposure to Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease spread through the urine of infected wildlife and other animals.

🐶 Dogs: Keep them from drinking from puddles or standing water, and ask us if their Lepto vaccine is up to date.

🐱 Cats: Infection is less commonly recognized in cats, but it’s still a good idea to discourage drinking from questionable outdoor water sources.

⚠️ And yes—Leptospirosis can infect PEOPLE, too!

Enjoy the rainy weather, skip the mystery puddle water. ☔🐕🐈💦

📞 Not sure if your dog is protected against Lepto? Give us a call and we can check!
