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:

Vaccinating New Pets

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 staff was so helpful and this place is gorgeous. Unfortunately our cat Marty consumed part of a rubber stretchy fidget and we had to make the 1.5 hour drive from Scranton at 11pm. After showing up to the vet in Wilkes Barre and being told it was a 15 hour wait, I called others in the area and their wait times were 2-6 hours. Quakertown had no wait, and did inform me that there were two people in the queue on their way but even when we got there, the other people were already in rooms and we were taken right away. Speaking on the phone with the scheduler, he was very clear about where to park, what doors we needed to use, etc. The lady at the front desk was great and enjoyed seeing Marty. The vet was incredibly helpful and explained things in easy to understand language and showed us the Xrays. While there was nothing more they could do and we just had to wait it out, I left feeling like I had done everything I could do and felt confident about caring for my cat until he passed the item. Thankfully I found the item on the floor in 48 hours. I would gladly visit them, and pay the money, again any time I need an emergency vet. I highly recommend them.
Three times I have had to use the vets ER. It’s reassuring that the hospital is open 24/7. Because we use Quakertown vets for regular care, vaccines and well checkups we are not charged the ER fees. My older lab was recently found to have heart failure. Due to the vet finding it when he was there for another reason, led to Alex getting early treatment. They have every specialist one could need. Frosty our German shepherd puppy was found to have a GI infection and treated. I can always get an appointment fairly quickly. The staff are great, understanding, very competent and knowledgeable. They take the time to care for my boys and answer my questions so I can make an educated informed decision caring for them.
Never had a bad experience with QVC. They saved my little girl’s life a few years ago. All of the staff is so kind, I love that I’m always able to reach them-you have no idea how important communication is to me since I’ve had bad experiences elsewhere. Very happy here. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
3 different vets in the area could not diagnosis my dogs symptoms, she had a really bad and deep cough, that they all kept giving me different pills that did not work, and said it was her heart. I finally went to a real hospital, they ultra sound her heart and said there was nothing wrong with it. said it was a tracheal collapse, gave me medicine to give her, and finally no more cough. I spent over a thousand dollars between those other 3.
