Winnipeg Veterinarian Best Friends Animal Hospital Reminds Area Pet Owners About Importance of Vaccines


WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Best Friends Animal Hospital would like to emphasize the importance of routine pet vaccines to pet owners in the Winnipeg area. Keeping pets current on their vaccines is crucial to overall quality of life and ongoing wellbeing.

Vaccines offer preventative care for cats and dogs. Both the Way to Grow Puppy and Way to Grow Kitten programs from Best Friends Animal Hospital can pave the way to good health for a lifetime.

Key vaccinations for dogs can offer protection against conditions such as rabies, distemper, bordatella and parvovirus. These shots are administered in a series to puppies over numerous visits so that their immune systems are not overwhelmed. A fecal test for roundworms is also recommended.

Kitten and cat plans also include both vaccines and parasite tests to help support a lifetime of good health. Feline vaccinations include rabies, distemper, feline immunodeficiency virus and leukemia.

In addition to a comprehensive vaccine program, Best Friends Animal Hospital also offers complete blood panel testing, urinalysis, nutritional and behavioral counseling, discounted heartworm tests, and more.
