Cat & Dog Vaccinations in Oakland, CA

This highly contagious disease is zoonotic, meaning it can spread from animals to people. California law requires vaccination against rabies for all dogs, and we highly recommend it for all cats, too. The rabies vaccine is needed every three years after your pet's initial vaccine series. The feline rabies vaccine is Purevax.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that your dog can pick up from contaminated water or soil. We highly recommend it for all dogs and can easily include it within the initial DHPP series of your puppy’s vaccinations. After this series, they’ll require an annual booster.

For adventurous dogs who accompany their owners on hikes, we recommend the rattlesnake vaccine. It greatly reduces the effect of rattlesnake poison to your dog if bitten. Should your pet benefit from the rattlesnake vaccine, they’ll need a booster every year. Ultra does not make a rattlesnake vaccine, so we use the safest one available.

Dogs who travel, often stay in boarding facilities, or participate in training classes or shows, should receive the vaccine for Bordetella, or “kennel cough.” We offer several versions of this vaccine and will work with you to choose one that suits your pet and their lifestyle best. We do not have the Ultra Bordetella vaccine, but use the safest one available.

Similarly to Bordetella, the canine influenza vaccine (CIV) is important for dogs who often visit dog parks, are in training classes, go to dog shows, travel, or are otherwise frequently sociable with other dogs. Our CIV is an Ultra. 

Only recommended for outdoor cats, the feline leukemia vaccine protects against this serious immunodeficiency disease that is nearly always fatal. Should you have an outdoor cat, they’ll need annual boosters.
