This one shot guards your dog against four dangerous diseases at once — including parvo, which is heartbreakingly common in puppies and can survive in soil for months. It is considered a core vaccine for dogs and is recommended for nearly all dogs — even those who spend most of their time at home. It provides protection against several serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.

Rabies is the one disease that threatens your pet and your family. Once symptoms appear, there’s no treatment. Rabies vaccination is required for dogs under California law and is strongly recommended for cats. One quick shot protects your pet, your household, and your neighbors.

Lepto hides in everyday places — puddles after rain, wet grass, anywhere wildlife has been. Dogs pick it up by drinking or even walking through contaminated water, and it can cause serious kidney and liver damage. Because leptospirosis can spread between animals and people, vaccination helps protect your entire household.

Bordetella is the main cause of kennel cough — think of it as a nasty cold that races through any place dogs gather. If your pup visits groomers, daycare, dog parks, or boarding facilities around Downey or Norwalk, this vaccine keeps a fun outing from turning into weeks of hacking and vet visits.

Feline Leukemia Virus can weaken a cat’s immune system and increase the risk of certain cancers and other serious illnesses. And there is no cure once a cat has it. It spreads through everyday cat behavior: shared bowls, mutual grooming, the occasional scuffle. Prevention is the only protection, even for mostly-indoor cats.

Yes, dogs get the flu too — and unlike us, they have almost no natural immunity, so outbreaks spread fast through daycares, boarding facilities, and dog parks. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of infection and may lessen the severity of illness if exposure occurs.
