Protection at Every Life Stage for Your Pets

Pet Vaccination Services for a Healthier Life

Preventative care for your pets starts at a young age, and the most critical step you should take to protect your pet today and long into the future is with vaccines. At Great Falls Animal Hospital, we are advocates of vaccinating your pets, as it not only protects them but can protect your family from contracting diseases as well. Our veterinarians have extensive experience and can discuss with you the appropriate shots for your pet.

Reach out to Great Falls Animal Hospital today at (703) 759-2330 to schedule an appointment for your pet’s vaccinations. We care for animals in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.

What Are Vaccines?

Vaccines are deactivated viruses or bacteria that, in small doses, are delivered into your pet’s body, causing their immune system to develop antibodies that will fight off that specific illness. If your pet comes into contact with that disease in the future, they will most likely be able to fight it off without ever showing any signs of sickness. It’s important to know that not all vaccines that are available need to be administered to your pet. Our Great Falls vaccination vets will decide which vaccinations are appropriate depending on certain factors about your pet, including age, environment, and breed. We won’t give them anything just for the sake of giving them something because it’s available. We have your pet’s best interests in mind.

The most common vaccinations for dogs and cats include:

Dogs: All dogs must be vaccinated for rabies as required by Virginia State Law. We also vaccinate all dogs for distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvovirus, and leptospirosis. If your dog goes to the dog park, groomers, obedience classes, or boarding kennel, etc., we recommend vaccinating against Tracheobronchitis (Bordetella) and Canine Influenza. We also have a safe and effective vaccine for Lyme disease that we are recommending for all dogs.
Cats: All cats must be vaccinated against rabies as required by Virginia State Law. All cats in our practice are vaccinated against distemper and upper respiratory viruses. The feline leukemia virus vaccine may also be recommended.

Puppy and Kitten Vaccine Schedules

If you are a parent of a newborn pet, we highly recommend you schedule their first round of vaccinations. Kittens and puppies are highly susceptible to many infectious diseases. Their mother’s milk provides a limited natural immunity that eventually wears off. We won’t give you new pet all their vaccinations at once, but will instead spread them out over approximately 12 to 16 weeks.

Don’t wait to schedule your vaccinations! Reach out to our Great Falls veterinarians today to get started!

The front desk is wonderful and always willing to help.Dr.Joseph Consigli is an amazing, caring,and extremely knowledgeable Vet,I valve his opinion and feel confident in all his decisions that he makes for my Boston Terrier (Brooklyn Fern).Had an appointment yesterday and Dr.Consigli and his assistant Michelle made it a pleasant one as always.He has taken care of my 3 dachshunds in the past over the years with his love and compassion and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.There has been times that other doctors have seen my pets for emergencies or illness at this practice and I thank them as well for their service.A wonderful and caring facility.

I honestly don't know how to put into words how grateful I am to the entire team at Quakertown Veterinary Clinic.After being turned away by two emergency veterinary hospitals while my 15-year-old dog, Cooper, was experiencing a prolonged seizure, I was completely heartbroken, terrified, and desperate to find someone who would help him.When I called Quakertown, the compassion I received was something I will never forget. They didn't make me feel like a number or tell me there was nowhere to go. They got Cooper in immediately and treated him with such kindness and understanding during an absolutely devastating moment.Sadly, after everything Cooper had been through, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to him. The staff at Quakertown made one of the worst moments of our lives as peaceful and compassionate as they possibly could. They gave us time with him, treated him with dignity and love, and showed so much compassion.What touched me especially were the thoughtful momentos they prepared for us to take home after Cooper passed. Those little gestures meant more than they probably realize. Having his paw print and those special keepsakes gave us something tangible to hold onto when we had just lost a beloved member of our family.Cooper was with us for 15 years. He wasn't "just a dog,” he was our family, and saying goodbye to him was absolutely heartbreaking. The kindness and compassion we received at Quakertown will stay with us forever.To everyone at Quakertown Veterinary Clinic: thank you for taking care of Cooper when we needed someone the most. Thank you for seeing his value, for treating him with dignity, and for treating our family with compassion when we were at our most vulnerable.We will never forget what you did for us and for Cooper. ❤️
