What Vaccines Are Available for Dogs and Cats?

Mills Animal Hospital carries a variety of vaccines formulated for maximum safety and protection.

Dog Vaccinations

Rabies

The rabies vaccine is essential and legally required in Acworth, GA for all dogs. This is due to the 100% fatality rate of rabies once an animal is infected. Protecting your dog from rabies also protects your family and community, and can save many lives.

DHPP

(Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus)

This combination vaccine offers protection against distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. These diseases can cause severe illness or even be life-threatening for dogs, especially puppies and seniors. Therefore, we require the DHPP vaccine for all dogs.

Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to humans (squirrels can also be carriers). It can cause kidney and liver failure in pets. Going outside in general can leave your pet exposed to leptospirosis bacteria, which can be found in rivers, streams, and puddles. We recommend this vaccine for all dogs to keep them safe.

Influenza

Dog influenza, or dog flu, is a highly contagious respiratory infection. The influenza vaccine is recommended for dogs that are frequently in contact with other dogs, such as at parks, boarding facilities, or grooming salons.

Bordetella

Commonly known as "kennel cough," Bordetella is a contagious bacterial infection. This vaccine is especially recommended for dogs that are boarded, attend daycare, or participate in dog shows.

Cat Vaccinations

FVRCP

(Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia)

This combination vaccine protects against three diseases: feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. While panleukopenia is commonly called feline distemper, it is in fact a feline parvovirus that causes similar symptoms in cats as canine parvovirus causes in puppies. All cats need to receive the FVRCP vaccine to protect their health. 

Rabies

Rabies vaccination is not only crucial for the health of your cat but also a legal requirement in many areas, including Acworth, GA. This deadly virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal and poses a major risk to humans as well.

FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

FeLV is highly recommended for all kittens as part of their initial vaccine series and boosted once. Once a cat reaches adulthood, we can continue their FeLV booster if they are indoor/outdoor, strictly outdoor, or living with/regularly exposed to other cats. This vaccine helps protect against the feline leukemia virus, which can cause potentially life-threatening illness.

Scheduling Your Pet's Vaccinations

Staying on top of your pet's vaccinations is vital. At Mills Animal Hospital, we make this easy with a tailored vaccination schedule for each pet and a commitment to stress-free care. If your pet gets anxious at the vet, we can do a virtual pre-visit consult (for a fee) to provide pre-visit pharmaceuticals to alleviate their stress.

Our team considers your pet's age, medical history, lifestyle, and specific risks in the Acworth, GA area to recommend the best vaccination plan. Call (770) 903-5995 to find out more!
