Pet Vaccinations and Wellness

In Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, regular pet wellness, vaccinations, and preventive care are crucial. Routine checkups catch issues early, while vaccinations protect against diseases like parvovirus and leptospirosis. Rising tick-borne risks, like ehrlichiosis, and mosquito-borne heartworm demand vigilance. Dog parks, though beneficial, increase disease exposure, emphasizing the need for vaccinations. Year-round parasite control and preventative labwork are vital. Protect your pet from local threats with proactive care.
