About Pet Vaccinations
CHVC offers vaccinations that help prevent and reduce the effects of common illnesses.
In BC, there are core vaccines, which are recommended for all pets, and non-core vaccines, which we’ll recommend on a case-by-case basis depending on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

Why We Administer Cat, Ferret & Dog Vaccinations
Just like for humans, vaccines teach your pet’s immune system how to fight diseases.
This means that they’re less likely to get sick and that when they do, the severity and duration of the disease is also reduced. This both saves your pet pain and sickness and saves you a lot of money. Parvovirus, for example, costs 20 times more to treat than the vaccine does.
What To Expect from Your Pet’s Vaccination
After we’ve agreed on which vaccines your pet will receive and have devised a schedule for them, you can bring your pet in for their initial round.
When you bring your pet in for vaccinations, you can expect a wellness exam, the vaccine administration itself, and a discussion of what side effects to watch for.
We perform a wellness exam to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to be vaccinated. If they are already ill, the vaccine is less effective, so it is better to wait. We’ll schedule another appointment with you later or prescribe a course of treatment.
