Vaccinations

Life-Saving Vaccinations for Every Dog and Cat

No matter the age of your dog or cat, vaccinations are an essential part of keeping them safe and healthy. Vaccines shield your pet from serious illnesses, many of which can be life-threatening. At Brewster Veterinary Hospital, we’re here to help you navigate the process, whether you’re introducing a new pet to your family or ensuring your long-time companion stays protected.

Why Vaccinations Are Vital

Your pet’s lifestyle plays a big role in determining the vaccines they need. Whether they’re meeting friends at the park, lounging at home, or heading off to daycare, their environment exposes them to different risks. Our veterinary team works closely with you to tailor a vaccination plan that’s as unique as your pet.

We’ll talk through questions like:

  • Does your pet socialize with other animals?
  • Do they attend daycare or have regular playdates?
  • Are they active in outdoor areas where they may encounter other animals or pests?
    By considering these factors, we can create a plan to safeguard your pet’s health and give you peace of mind.
