FVRCP vaccine
Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia
This combination vaccine protects against three common viral diseases. Feline viral rhinotracheitis and calicivirus cause respiratory infections, while panleukopenia (also known as feline distemper) is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract.
Rabies vaccine
Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and is zoonotic, meaning it can be transmitted to humans. The rabies vaccine is essential for cats in Ontario and is of utmost importance. Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and is fatal once symptoms appear. It can be transmitted to humans and other animals through the bite or saliva of an infected animal. In Ontario, bats are a known carrier of the virus. Because bats can enter homes through small openings, even strictly indoor pets are at risk of exposure.
Fortunately, human rabies infections are rare in Canada thanks to strong vaccination programs, but it’s important to remember that the disease remains a serious global concern. Worldwide, rabies is estimated to cause approximately 59,000 human deaths each year, with some sources suggesting the number may reach 70,000 due to under-reporting.
As your local veterinary team in Aurora, we ensure your cat is compliant with all Ontario laws. This is crucial for protecting them from potential wildlife encounters in our communities and for the safety of your family.
Vaccinating cats against rabies helps prevent the spread of the disease and protects both pets and humans from infection. It is a crucial measure for public health and safety. Additionally, Ontario law mandates the vaccination of cats against rabies to ensure compliance with public health regulations and to help control and eliminate rabies in the province.
FeLV vaccine
Feline Leukemia Virus
Feline leukemia virus is a contagious disease. Vaccination is highly recommended for cats with any outdoor access or those in multi-cat households. For cats that explore backyards in Richmond Hill, interact with other cats in Markham, or have any outdoor access in our communities, the FeLV vaccine is a critical shield against this serious illness.
It’s important to consult with us at our Aurora clinic to determine the specific vaccination needs of your cat. Based on factors like their age, lifestyle, and potential exposure, our team, serving pet owners from King City to Stouffville, will provide a tailored vaccination schedule to keep your cat protected and healthy.
