Pet Vaccinations
Prevention is always the best medicine at Appleseed Valley Veterinary Hospital, and that starts with pet vaccinations — one of the most effective tools we have to protect your furry friend from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. If you’re searching for personalized pet vaccines in Lexington, OH, our veterinary team is ready to guide you with expert recommendations, gentle care, and transparent advice.
Why Vaccinations Matter for Pets
Just like in humans, vaccinations help build your pet’s immune defenses before encountering dangerous viruses or bacteria. While some diseases may seem uncommon, they’re often only rare because of widespread vaccination efforts.
Vaccines are essential in preventing conditions such as:
- Rabies
- Distemper
- Parvovirus
- Hepatitis
- Leptospirosis
- Feline leukemia
- Feline calicivirus
- Bordetella (kennel cough)
Without proper immunization, pets are at risk of contracting and spreading these diseases, which can lead to suffering, costly treatments, or worse. Vaccinating your pet isn’t just about protection; it’s peace of mind.
Customized Pet Vaccination Plans
Not all pets need the same vaccines. Our veterinarians at Appleseed Valley Veterinary Hospital develop individualized vaccine protocols based on your pet’s:
- Age and breed
- Lifestyle and activity level
- Travel history or boarding exposure
- Indoor vs. outdoor habits
- Existing health conditions
We offer both core vaccines (recommended for all pets) and non-core vaccines (based on lifestyle and risk factors). As your pet grows, their needs may change, so we’ll revisit and update their vaccination plan regularly. Our goal is to ensure your pet gets exactly what they need — no more, no less.
What to Expect During a Vaccination Visit
Vaccination appointments are quick, gentle, and informative. Each visit includes:
- A full nose-to-tail physical exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for vaccination
- Discussion of vaccine history and lifestyle risk assessment
- Administration of recommended vaccines by experienced veterinary professionals
- Guidance on any post-vaccine care or side effects (which are rare and typically mild)
We also keep detailed records, so you never have to guess when your pet is due for their next round of protection. As a reminder, you can always access your pet’s vaccination records via the PetDesk App 24/7.
