Vaccinations should be updated on a regular basis, typically every 1-3 years, depending on your pet’s specific needs. During your pet’s annual wellness exam, we’ll discuss vaccination options, including required and recommended vaccines, tailored to factors like their age, breed, lifestyle, and exposure risks.
What are the advantages of spaying or neutering my dog or cat at Wood Hill Veterinary Clinic in Old Chatham, NY?
Spaying or neutering your pet provides numerous benefits. It helps ensure their long-term health by preventing gender-specific conditions, while also contributing to the vital effort of controlling animal overpopulation. Given the number of pets needing homes, adopting a rescue is an excellent choice, but if you’re raising a pet, spaying or neutering during their first year is a responsible alternative. You can schedule a comprehensive exam at Wood Hill Veterinary Clinic in Old Chatham to determine the ideal time for your pet’s procedure.
