Pet Vaccinations Protect Against Harmful Diseases
For your pet to stay healthy, they require protection against viral and bacterial infections. Pets can be exposed to life-threatening illnesses at any time. Furthermore, different pets may encounter different diseases during their lifetime, making the right level of protection important at all times.
At Jonesville Animal Hospital, our pet clinic helps our clients from Newberry, Jonesville, Tioga, and Gainesville, FL choose the safest and best treatments for their pets. With pet vaccinations, our goal is always to keep your four-legged family member protected, at whatever stage of life they may be in. Our veterinarians look forward to creating a personal vaccine program that increases the overall well-being of your pet and helps them to enjoy an increased sense of comfort, wellness, and protection.

How Vaccines Keep Your Pet Safe
Have you ever wondered how vaccines actually work? Vaccinations work by increasing your pet's immunity to disease. First, vaccines contain antigens that mimic a specific virus. After vaccination, the immune system produces antibodies to fight the intruder. As a result, your pet's immune system will be better equipped to recognize and repel future infections.
Our animal clinic offers a variety of pet vaccinations* to keep dogs and cats healthy:
Recommended Vaccines for Cats and Dogs
Cats (Feline)
- Rabies
- Feline distemper (FVRCP)
- Leukemia (FeLV)
Dogs (Canine)
- Rabies
- Distemper (DHPP)
- Bordetella
- Bivalent canine influenza
- Leptospirosis
*Our veterinary clinic carries non-adjuvanted vaccines for cats and dogs to reduce health risks. Adjuvants heighten the body's immune response but can also trigger harmful reactions such as vaccine-associated sarcomas. Non-adjuvanted vaccines are safer and just as effective.
Tailoring Vaccines to Your Pet's Needs
Healthy dogs and cats should have routine vaccinations to sustain their immunity. At our veterinary hospital, we stay current with the latest vaccination protocols established by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). This helps us reduce the risk of over-vaccination while still keeping your pet well-protected. Our veterinarians and veterinary staff highly recommend rabies and distemper vaccines for our patients, because these are lethal diseases.
Furthermore, our veterinarians offer additional vaccines based on certain lifestyle factors such as age, breed, size, medical history, environment, and exposure risk. The variety of factors we consider during any veterinary service is why we take the time to understand our patients and clients - we respect and support their personal needs and adjust our care to those needs accordingly.

To the proud pet owners of Newberry, Jonesville, Tioga, Gainesville, FL and across Alachula County, we can’t wait to see you soon!
