Pet Vaccinations in Redondo Beach

Pet Vaccination & Reproductive Surgery Schedule

Up-to-date dog and cat vaccinations are key when it comes to protecting your four-legged friend against a wide range of serious, and often dangerous, diseases. Likewise, having your pet neutered or spayed not only prevented the birth of unwanted litters but helps to protect your pet against some serious diseases too. These reproductive surgeries can also curb unwanted behaviors like roaming, scooting, howling and aggression.

  While the following procedures aren't kitten vaccinations, neutering, spaying and microchipping your cat helps to protect them from a number of health issues and, therefore, fall under the umbrella of preventative healthcare. 

  • Spay (females) - Spaying your female cat prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, protects your cat against serious illnesses, and can help to prevent behaviors such as howling and scooting that accompany heat cycles.
  • Neuter (males) - Neutering your male cat prevents your pet from fathering unwanted kittens, protects your cat against various illnesses, and can help to prevent territory marking (spraying), roaming, howling, and cat aggression. 
  • Microchipping - A microchip is a permanent form of identification for your pet. It is about the size of a grain of rice and is placed beneath your pet's skin. Microchipped pets have a far better chance of being reuinted with their owners if they are lost.

  Although the following are not puppy vaccinations, spaying, neutering, and microchipping help protect your dog from a number of health issues, and therefore fall under the preventive health care umbrella. 

  • Spay (female) - Dog spaying will prevent your female dog from mothering puppies, but it can also help to prevent certain cancers and regular heat cycles which can attract roaming males to your property.
  • Neuter (male) - Dog neutering can help to prevent your pup from fathering unwanted puppies, can protect him against a number of serious kinds of cancer and can even help to curb behaviors like roaming and aggression.
