Protect Your Pet This Summer: July Vaccinations at Express Vets

Get Your Pet Vaccinations for July with Us at Express Vets

Summer is in full swing, and while you're making plans for beach days, road trips, and backyard barbecues, don’t forget about your pet’s health and safety. July is the perfect time to ensure your furry friend is up to date on their vaccinations — and Express Vets is ready to help make it quick, easy, and affordable.

Many pet owners are surprised to learn how critical vaccines are during the summer months. With warmer weather, pets are more likely to spend time outdoors, visit parks, interact with other animals, and even travel with family. These activities increase their exposure to viruses, bacteria, and parasites that can cause serious illness. Fortunately, vaccinations are a safe and effective way to protect your pet from preventable diseases.

Why July Is the Right Time for Pet Vaccines

During the summer, the risks of disease transmission among pets increase significantly. Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other pests thrive in warm temperatures, and they can carry diseases that are dangerous to both pets and humans. Additionally, outdoor adventures expose your pet to other animals that may not be vaccinated, increasing the chances of infection.

Here are just a few reasons to prioritize your pet's vaccinations this July:

• Increased Outdoor Activities: Trips to the dog park, hikes, and beach outings expose pets to various pathogens.
• Travel Season: If you're boarding your pet or traveling across state lines, up-to-date vaccines are often required.
• Pest Season: Heartworm, Lyme disease, and other conditions spread by pests peak during the summer.

Essential Vaccinations Your Pet May Need

At Express Vets, we follow veterinary best practices to recommend the essential vaccinations your pet needs based on their lifestyle, age, and health status. Here are the core vaccines we typically recommend:

For Dogs:

• Rabies: Legally required in most states and protects against a fatal disease that can spread to humans.
• DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza): A combination vaccine that shields your dog from multiple deadly viruses.
• Bordetella: Commonly known as the kennel cough vaccine, essential if your dog is socializing with others.
• Leptospirosis: Protects against a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans.

For Cats:

• Rabies: Just as important for cats as it is for dogs.
• FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia): A combination vaccine to protect against severe feline diseases.
• FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus): Recommended for outdoor cats or those who come in contact with other cats.

If you're unsure which vaccines your pet needs, don’t worry — our experienced veterinary team at Express Vets will evaluate your pet’s needs and recommend a personalized vaccination schedule.
