Is Your Pet Up to Date on Vaccinations? Pet Vaccination in Northwest Ohio

Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services – Northwest Ohio & Southeast Michigan

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and while most people think of human health when they hear that, it’s also a perfect reminder to check if your pets are up to date on their vaccinations. Staying current on vaccines is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your animals from preventable and potentially life-threatening diseases.

Why Pet Vaccinations Matter

Pet Vaccines safeguard pets against serious illnesses that can occur in Northwest Ohio such as:

• Rabies – a fatal disease that also poses a risk to humans

• Parvovirus – highly contagious and often deadly in puppies

• Distemper – a viral disease affecting multiple body systems

• Leptospirosis – a bacterial infection that can spread to humans

• Feline Leukemia – a contagious and potentially fatal virus in cats

By keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date, you’re not only protecting them but also helping to stop the spread of disease within the community. Preventative care is always more cost-effective than treatment for an advanced illness.

Vaccination Guidelines for Pets

Every pet is different, but here are some general guidelines:

• Puppies and kittens should begin their vaccination series at 6 to 8 weeks old.

• Adult pets need regular boosters to maintain immunity.

• Recommendations vary based on age, lifestyle, and exposure risk—for example, pets who travel, visit dog parks, or are around other animals may need additional protection.
