Will My Pet Have Any Side Effects from Their Vaccines?

Side effects from vaccines are usually minor and include mild soreness and swelling around the injection site. Some pets might be drowsy following their vaccinations. Allergic reactions are not unheard of, but they are still rare. If you’re concerned about your pet reacting to any of their vaccines, we’ll be happy to keep an eye on them after they’ve been vaccinated to make sure they’re safe. You’re also more than welcome to call or stop in any time to have us check on your pet.

We Recommend Year-Round Parasite Control for Westfield Pets

Fleas and ticks on dogs and cats are always a major concern, but they aren’t the only one. Parasites can cause a variety of health problems, some of which can be life-threatening if they aren’t treated early enough. Another issue is that parasites can be troublesome even during the winter months. An unseasonably warm day is all it takes for fleas, ticks (and sometimes even mosquitoes) to reappear.

Coyne Veterinary Center recommends keeping your pet protected year-round against:

  • Heartworms (transmitted by mosquitoes)
  • Fleas
  • Ticks
  • Intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms)
