Is your cat due for a vaccination?  Vaccines are an important way to keep your pet happy and healthy by protecting them against life-threatening diseases.  

In honor of National Cat Day this Wednesday, we will be offering 10% off vaccinations all week long!  Here are a few of the vaccines your cat may need.

Important Feline Vaccinations:

• Panleukopenia (FPV) - New kittens should be given an FPV shot between 6 and 8 weeks of age.  After the initial series of shots, they can receive a booster at 1 or 2 years of age.
• Feline Viral Respiratory Disease Complex - Kittens can be vaccinated as early as 6 weeks of age and adult cats should receive two initial doses.  Both kittens and adult cats should receive a booster after one year and then every three years afterwards.
• Rabies - The rabies vaccine is mandatory for all pet owners in NY.  Most rabies vaccines last for one or three years.  It is important that cats receive the vaccine when necessary.

Depending on your cat's lifestyle and medical history, we can help you make the right vaccine choices.  Our professional veterinary staff will provide you with information on which vaccines are appropriate for your pet.  

Contact our office for 10% off vaccinations the week of the 29th only!

World Rabies Day- September 28, 2012!

Tomorrow, September 28^th is World Rabies Day!  It is a day created by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control group and is recognized by over 150 nations.  The goal of World rabies day is to promote information on rabies control and reduce the amount of rabies cases by maintaining proper animal vaccination and control, as well as providing access to the necessary medical care for those infected. 

“Rabies is completely preventable.  We want people to understand the importance of vaccinating against the disease,” said Dr. Leon Russell, a professor in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.  Even with treatment available, more than 55,000 people per year die from a rabies bite worldwide.  Rabies can be contracted from dogs and cats to skunks and raccoons. 

In addition, Russell recommends that owners should take the necessary precautions and pets should always be routinely vaccinated against rabies.

If your pet is in need of vaccination, or treatment please contact us at The Bregman Veterinary Group for the best services!  Visit us at http://bregmanvetgroup.com/ for more information. Also, visit our Facebook page, linked HERE! 

The Importance of Vaccinating Your Pet!

If you are a pet owner like me and have suffered through the illness of your pet, this blog is a must read. My boxer Rusty gave birth to an albino. I didn’t even have a chance to name the little chap before he died on me. I am not sure if I could have done anything to save him, but it still pinches me every now and then. Although this little story in really unrelated to pet vaccinations and the importance of it but this is my way of empathizing with the pain you suffer when your pet gets sick.

I cannot stress enough the importance of regular vaccinations and vet visits for your pet.  Regular vaccinations will safe guard your pet from fatal illnesses such as rabies or leptospirosis. Pet vaccinations will also protect your other pets from any contagious illnesses. Not only that, humans can contract life threatening illnesses from infected pets. Therefore it behooves us pet lovers to make sure that they get regularly checked and vaccinated by their vets.

A little tidbit of information: Dogs and cats are more likely to catch infections. In any case act before it is too late. I know what it is like to lose a beloved pet. For more information on vaccinations for your pets you can visit the “Vaccinate your pet” campaign online at www.VaccinateYourPet.com.
