Vaccinations is a serious concern to all pet owners. Here at Boca Village Animal Hospital we will customize a vaccination protocol for each of your pets. When doing so we will take into consideration your pets age, lifestyle, general health condition and exposure to other animals. Based on the evaluation our doctors will then recommend a vaccination program which may include for dogs a yearly vaccine against rabies, distemper, parvo, corona virus, leptoseirosis, bordetella, and lyme disease; and for cats a yearly vaccine against rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. By following your pets’ tailor made vaccination protocol you will be assured that your pets will be properly protected against diseases which are readily transmitted in our tropical, urban, and transient environment. Please make an appointment today to discuss the vaccination needs of your pets with one of our doctors. Remember the best way to protect your pets against disease is to vaccinate them!

Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Our special, cleansing baths remove dirt, debris and that doggie pet odor – your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that stop the itching. Services also include nail trim and ear cleaning.
MICROCHIPPING
Microchip identification is a safe and very popular way to permanently identify your pet. Microchip identification of your pet involves placement of a small electronic chip, the size and shape of a grain of rice, just under the skin in the area between the shoulder blades. A very sharp needle is used to inject the chip with minimal discomfort. If your pet is due to be spayed or neutered or have its teeth cleaned, we can place the microchip while they are under anesthesia without them feeling a thing!
In the unfortunate case that your pet is lost or stolen, and is transported to a humane society, shelter, or veterinary hospital, your pet will be scanned for the chip. The scanner reads the number on the chip that is assigned only to you and your pet, and you will be contacted. (It is not however, a tracking device.)
We advise you to use this system of identification as well as a collar identification system on your pet. To learn more about microchip identification, please feel free to call us and speak to a staff member
