Miami-Dade County Animal Services offers low-cost comprehensive wellness vaccine packages to help keep your furry best friends healthy.
A comprehensive vaccination program, or pet care package, can protect dogs and cats from many common, serious and even fatal diseases. For dogs, the packages contain the legally required rabies vaccine, along with the combination vaccine DHPP which provides protection against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza, as well as the Bordetella vaccine which prevents kennel cough – all highly contagious and sometimes fatal diseases for dogs.
The packages for cats also include the legally required rabies vaccine along with FRCPC. Those letters stand for Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia and Chlamydophila, all viruses that can prove to be fatal in cats.
