Cat & Dog Vaccinations in Portage, IN

Does your pet divide their time between the indoors and outdoors? Or are they an indoor-only pet? Even if you answered “yes” to the latter, your pet can still be vulnerable to diseases and parasites. Our homes are not bug-proof, sadly, and you may be tracking bacteria, fleas and/or ticks into the house from outside. Coyne Veterinary Center in Portage, IN, can help you protect your pet against many different diseases and parasites thanks to cat and dog vaccinations and parasite preventives. Call us at (219) 763-3311 to start your pet's vaccination schedule.

Why Your Pet Needs Parasite Prevention

Spiders and termites aren’t the only household pests you need to worry about. Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are active for much of the year, and they can spread harmful illnesses to your pet. In addition to these external parasites, there are also internal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and coccidia.

Some of the most common parasite-transmitted diseases in pets include:

  • Heartworm disease (mosquitoes)
  • Lyme disease (ticks)
  • Ehrlichiosis (ticks)
  • Anaplasmosis (ticks)
  • Tapeworm (fleas)

Heartworm disease can be fatal for pets if it's allowed to progress long enough. Routine heartworm testing and year-round heartworm prevention should keep your pet sufficiently protected. Additionally, we offer a Lyme pet vaccination to effectively prevent Lyme disease in dogs.

WE'LL HELP YOU FIND THE BEST PROTECTION

One of our veterinarians will help you choose the right parasite preventatives and identify which vaccines your pet needs based on their lifestyle. We always take an individualized approach that considers your pet’s health and other specific factors.
