Here at HAH we hope that your pets stay healthy and need to see us only once a year for a check-up exam and vaccination updates. During your appointment, the doctor will look in your pet's mouth and ears, listen to his heart and lungs, palpate the abdomen, and check his skin. If all is well, the doctor will go ahead with the vaccines, which are generally:

For dogs:
RABIES: required by law and good for one year the first time it's given, and if updated within the next year, the next shot will be good for three years
DISTEMPER: a yearly vaccine to protect your pet from Distemper, Parvo, and Lepto; the Lepto portion may be removed if your dog is allergic
BORDETELLA: a vaccine that protects against kennel cough and is given yearly — or every six months if your dog visits a groomer or is boarded frequently

For cats:
RABIES: required by law and good for one year the first time it's given, and if updated within the next year, the next shot will be good for three years
DISTEMPER: a yearly vaccine that protects against Feline Distemper
FELINE LEUKEMIA: yearly vaccine for the FeLV virus that can be spread between cats through bites; a Feline Leukemia test is recommended for all cats with questionable backgrounds

Our doctors recommend yearly or bi-yearly heartworm checks for dogs, even when HeartGuard is routinely given once a month. If you live in the Hanover area and your dog is not protected against heartworms, it's almost a matter of when, not if, he will get heartworms. Frontline, a topical product that kills fleas and ticks, is recommended to keep your pets pest- and Lyme's disease-free.

In addition to vaccines, our staff will also cut your animal's nails if you'd like, or run a fecal check to look for intestinal parasites such as hook, whip, and tapeworms.
