PET VACCINATIONS
Preventative Care, Healthy Pets, Pet Vaccinations
Just like people, dogs and cats can succumb to illnesses and infections. That's why vaccinating your dog or cat is incredibly important. Here at Tracy Animal Hospital, we work closely with pet parents to make sure that each patient is up to date with all of their vaccinations and offer email and text notifications as well. Once your pet receives their initial set of puppy or kitten shots, your veterinarian will let you know when they are due for a booster shot to keep them healthy and safe. Our Wellness Packages offer savings on your pet's annual preventative care.
