At Alexander at the Park Veterinary Hospital in Durham, NC, one of our goals is to provide quality preventative pet care to help keep our pet patients healthy. From flea and tick prevention to pet vaccinations, our veterinary team is dedicated to supporting your pet's health.

Preventative Care at Our Animal Hospital

Our services cover many areas of pet wellness, including preventative care. Two examples of areas that require ongoing attention are pet vaccinations and flea and tick prevention. Fleas and ticks can easily be prevented using flea and tick medication found at your local pet store. If you are having trouble choosing the right ones, our veterinary team can help you choose. Vaccines are a little more complicated, however.

The Importance of Pet Vaccines

When your pet has an appointment for a wellness exam, a vet will look to see if your pet is current on his or her vaccinations. Once the examination is over and our veterinarian has current information about your pet, whether vaccinations are necessary and what type will be administered, if necessary, will be discussed with you.

You want your pet to be protected as much as possible from life-threatening diseases and illnesses. If you have a multi-pet household and a pet becomes ill that has not been vaccinated, other pets that are not vaccinated can also become infected. This can lead to costly bills for diseases that could have been prevented.

Pets not vaccinated with access to the outdoors may come in contact with infected wildlife that are sick from distemper or rabies. Additionally, some illnesses can also be transmitted to humans, so it is in the best interest of everyone to make sure your pet is protected.
