Vaccinations

Pet Vaccinations

Vaccines are one of the simplest ways to protect your pet. They train the immune system to fight off serious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus before your pet is ever exposed. Many of these illnesses are hard to treat but easy to prevent with a shot that takes just a moment.

Not every pet needs every vaccine. Our veterinarians look at your pet's age, health, and lifestyle to build the right schedule. A puppy who visits the dog park has different needs than an indoor cat. We will explain which vaccines are core for all pets and which ones make sense for the way your pet lives.

Puppies and kittens need a series of vaccines in their first months of life, because the protection they got from their mother fades over time. Sticking to the schedule matters. We make it easy by pairing vaccine visits with quick health checks, so your young pet gets a good start.

Vaccinations

At Prairieville Animal Hospital, we keep vaccine visits calm and gentle. Our team works at your pet's pace, and most dogs and cats are in and out quickly. We also keep clear records, so you always know when the next booster is due.

Not sure which vaccines your pet needs? Call (225) 677-5005 and we will help you sort it out, or pair vaccines with a wellness exam to cover everything in one visit.

Dr. Procell, then and in the past, has been an excellent veterinarian who not only explains your pet's health issues very well but also displays great compassion. The entire staff is wonderful, and my husband and I highly recommend Prairieville Animal Hospital for your pet's health care.

I took my cat for a dental cleaning and some extractions. The staff are extremely nice, we were seen at the appointment time, my cat came out of surgery and she was happy. Next day playful and eating. I am definitely bringing all my pets here.
