Going to the vet repeatedly over several months for vaccinations, and then for boosters throughout your dog’s or cat's life, may seem like an inconvenience, but the diseases that vaccinations will shield your pets from are dangerous, potentially deadly, and, thankfully, largely preventable. Valley Veterinary Care, Inc. seeks to establish strong client/patient relationships and strives to provide the best care. Vaccinations are the very beginning to providing the necessary care for your pets. By following our recommended puppy and kitten vaccine guidelines, we can make sure that your pet is healthy and ready to take on the world. Our establishment sends out reminders to all clients regarding when the next set of vaccines are due.
Thank you for entrusting us with your pet's preventative care.
