K9 Loft Family,
We have been in touch with several local veterinarians who are tying to set up vaccine clinics in order to facilitate the rollout of Canine Influenza and Leptospirosis vaccines. Here is the first of hopefully several vaccine clinics that are open to the general public (both clients and non-clients):
Where: Vet Villa Animal Hospital, 2140 Huntington Drive, South Pasadena, CA 91030
When: 10am-4pm - Saturday, September 18, Saturday September 25, Saturday October 2. No appointments times needed.
Cost: Leptospirosis vaccination = $29; Canine Influenza vaccination = $48
Who Can Attend: Clients AND non-Clients of Vet Villa.
Additional Information: Dogs 8 weeks of age and older can receive Lepto and Influenza vaccinations. For both Lepto and Influenza, it is recommended that all dogs receive the initial 2 part vaccination series and then an annual booster thereafter. If your dog is very small, young, or immunocompromised, it is recommended that they not receive both vaccines on the same day as there may be an increased risk of a vaccine reaction. Any dogs showing signs of illness should NOT be vaccinated and should not attend this event.
Additional Information from Vet Villa: If your dog has a history of a vaccine reaction, they must be pre-medicated with Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) approximately one hour prior to vaccination. Standard Benadryl dosing for dogs is 1mg of Benadryl per pound of your dog’s body weight given orally. If history of a vaccine reaction, please notify us at check in and only ONE vaccine should be given during that visit.
We will continue to provide information about upcoming vaccine clinics as they become available.
