Rabies is a vaccination required by law in all 50 states.  It can only be obtained/administered by a licensed Veterinarian.  The first rabies vaccination is effective for a period of one year, regardless of the age of the animal at the time of the vaccination.  When properly boostered in one year, rabies becomes a 3 year vaccination. (NOTE:  Proof of the previous rabies vaccination is required.  Otherwise, a subsequent rabies booster will be valid for only one year, as required by law.)

Recommended for dogs that will be going to dog parks, groomers, boarding facilities, beaches & socialized with other dogs, even in a neighborhood where other dogs have been or may be present.  The oral Bordetella may be administered as early as 12 weeks.  The first dose of oral Bordetella is valid for 1 year.  Bordetella is always an annual vaccination.

 The Canine Flu is now present in all 48 contiguous states. It is NOT seasonal. A recent outbreak in Northern CA has spread, so far, to the Greater L. A.  area.  Dogs are contagious before they become symptomatic.  Confirmed cases of the canine flu requires a quarantine of 21-28 days at a cost ranging from $7,000 - $12,000 with no guarantee of survival or recovery.  Any dog that goes to boarding facilities, groomers, beaches, dog parks, traveling, etc., should be vaccinated for the Canine Flu.

 A vaccine for indoor-outdoor cats/kittens.  FeLV is second only to trauma as the leading cause of death in cats.  The virus commonly causes anemia or lymphoma, but because it suppresses the immune system, it can also predispose cats to deadly infections.
