Vaccines

Pet vaccinations are an integral part of wellness and preventative care. At Brooklyn Veterinary Clinic, we believe prevention is the greatest gift we can give to our canine and feline friends.

Wellness Routine

At Brooklyn Vet Clinic, we cannot over emphasize the importance of establishing a wellness routine for your pets enough. Wellness exams scheduled at least annually and vaccinations scheduled as needed are critical to an animal’s well-being. Wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate overall health while also providing a baseline for each pet’s unique body and tendencies.

More importantly, regular exams help familiarize your pet with the hospital and allow us to detect potential areas of concern before they become serious, all of which make future visits easier on them and you. Brooklyn is an AAHA-accredited facility and follows the recommendations by the American Animal Hospital Association.
