Comprehensive Veterinary CarePet Vaccinations in Ann Arbor MI
Vaccinations are a crucial part of keeping your pet safe from preventable diseases. At Arbor Hills Animal Clinic, we provide pet vaccinations in Ann Arbor, MI, ensuring your dog or cat receives the protection they need for a long, healthy life.
Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?
Vaccines do more than prevent illness—they save lives. By staying up-to-date with your pet’s vaccination schedule, you’re protecting them from serious conditions like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Many of these illnesses can be fatal or require costly treatment if left unchecked, but they are largely preventable with routine immunizations.
Vaccinations also play a vital role in public health. Some diseases, such as rabies, can be transmitted to humans, which is why certain vaccines are legally required. Keeping your pet vaccinated ensures they’re not only safe at home but also protected in public settings like dog parks, grooming salons, and boarding facilities.
Core & Optional Pet Vaccines We Offer
Every pet is unique, which is why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our veterinary team will recommend a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, health history, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Dog Vaccinations:
- Rabies – Legally required and essential for safety
- DHPP – Protects against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza
- Bordetella – Commonly required for boarding and daycare (Kennel Cough)
- Leptospirosis – Recommended for dogs with outdoor or water exposure

Our goal is to create a plan that fits your pet—not just a checklist. During your visit, we’ll walk you through what each vaccine protects against and explain why it’s recommended.
Who Needs Pet Vaccinations?
Vaccinations are essential for pets at every stage of life. Puppies and kittens begin receiving vaccines as early as 6–8 weeks of age to build up their immunity. Adult pets need routine booster shots to maintain protection, even if they’ve been vaccinated before.
If your pet travels, boards, or spends time around other animals, they face a higher risk of exposure and should follow a more comprehensive vaccine schedule. Even indoor pets benefit from vaccines, as certain diseases can still find their way inside through contact with people, pests, or other animals.
