"Core" vaccines are recommended for most pets in a particular area or geographical location because they protect from diseases most common in that area. "Non-core" vaccinations are chosen based on your pet's lifestyle. Our veterinarians will consider your pet's risk of exposure to a variety of preventable diseases to customize a vaccination program for optimal protection throughout your pet's life.
When you come in for a visit, your team will talk with you about your pet's lifestyle, including any expected travel to other geographical locations and/or contact with other pets or wild animals, since these factors impact your pet's risk of exposure to certain diseases.
