At Bannerman Pet Care, we follow the guidelines established by the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners for the administration of vaccines, which encourages patients to be treated on an individual basis. A thorough wellness exam should be done on your pet at least once a year (more frequently if the pet is older or has chronic health issues). At this visit, your pet’s history can be obtained or updated, and your veterinarian can help you determine which vaccines or other medical services might be relevant based on your pet’s individual needs.
