A Break Down of Core and
Non-Core Vaccinations

Core Vaccinations

Core pet vaccinations are vaccines that we consider essential to the health of all pets. These pet vaccines protect against common and often life-threatening diseases and will be strongly recommended by your veterinarian once your pet is old enough to receive them, pending certain medical conditions. The rabies vaccine is required by law for all pets in Texas and many other states.

Dog Core Vaccines

  • Rabies

  • Parvovirus
  • Distemper
  • Adenovirus
  • Parainfluenza

Cat Core Vaccines

  • Rabies
  • Panleukopenia (Distemper)
  • Calicivirus
  • Herpesvirus (Rhinotracheitis)
  • Leukemia (For cats under one year of age)

Non-Core Vaccinations

Non-core pet vaccinations are vaccines that may be recommended for your pet depending on factors like age, lifestyle, and environment. For example, a pet that goes outside may require different vaccines than one that spends all their time inside and is not exposed to outside pets. Diseases may also be prevalent in certain geographic locations but rare or non-existent in others. Your veterinarian will ask you questions and consider your pet’s health history to make the best recommendations for your pet’s vaccine schedule.

Dog Non-Core Vaccines

  • Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
  • Leptospirosis
  • Influenza
  • Lyme Disease
  • Rattlesnake

Cat Non-Core Vaccines

  • Leukemia (for cats at risk)
  • Bordetella
  • Chlamydophila felis
  • Leukemia (For cats older than one year of age)

Why Pet Vaccinations Get a Starring Role

You may have questions about why your pet needs vaccines. At PetSmart Veterinary Services: Georgetown, we know that pet vaccinations play a vital role in safeguarding the health and well-being of our furry companions. By causing your pet’s immune system to produce protective antibodies against specific diseases, pet vaccines help prevent the spread of contagious and potentially life-threatening illnesses among pets and even humans. These pet vaccines not only protect individual pets from suffering but also contribute to the overall health of the pet population by creating a barrier of immunity that reduces the high risk of diseases in communities. Also, vaccinations can save pet owners from the emotional distress and financial burden of treating preventable diseases. By ensuring that your pet is up-to-date on their vaccinations, we can provide them with a longer, healthier, and happier life while also promoting public health and safety.
