Pet Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention in Clackamas

Pet Vaccination & Reproductive Surgery Schedule

When it comes to protecting your furry friend from a range of contagious, often serious diseases, current dog and cat vaccinations are critical. Having your pet spayed or neutered not only prevents the birth of unwanted litters; these common veterinary procedures can also help to protect your pet against some serious forms of cancer. They may prevent unwanted behaviors such as animal aggression, roaming, howling and scooting.

  While the following are not kitten vaccinations, spaying, neutering and microchipping help protect your cat from a number of health issues, and therefore fall under the preventive health care umbrella. 

  • Spay (females) - Spaying your female cat prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, protects your cat against serious illnesses, and can help to prevent behaviors such as howling and scooting that accompany heat cycles.
  • Neuter (males) - Neutering your male cat prevents your pet from fathering unwanted kittens, protects your cat against various illnesses, and can help to prevent territory marking (spraying), roaming, howling, and cat aggression. 
  • Microchipping - A microchip is a permanent form of identification that is about the size of a grain of rice and placed under your pet’s skin. Pets that are microchipped have a better chance of being reunited with their owners if they are lost.
