Vaccinations are crucial for protecting your pets from preventable diseases. At Academy Animal Hospital, we ensure your pet receives the right vaccines at the right time to keep them healthy and safe.
Comprehensive Examination
Our exceptional team at Academy Animal Hospital in Solana Beach, CA is dedicated to providing compassionate veterinary care for your pets. Whether it’s a routine wellness exam or a complex medical procedure, your pet’s well-being is our top priority.
Core vaccinations for cats include panleukopenia (feline distemper), feline herpesvirus type I, feline calicivirus, and rabies. These vaccines protect your cat from serious illnesses and are highly recommended, even though they are not mandatory in California.
Pain Management
Laser therapy, scientifically known as photobiomodulation, uses laser light to promote healing by penetrating deep into tissues. Unlike regular light, laser light is coherent, monochromatic, collimated, and polarized, allowing it to reach deeper tissues and activate cellular processes. These effects include accelerated tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and pain relief.
Vomiting Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
If your pet is struggling to breathe, this is a clear sign of a serious issue. Breathing difficulties can stem from heart failure, allergic reactions, blockages, or other medical conditions. Seek emergency care immediately.
Core vaccinations for dogs include Canine Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Bordetella, and Rabies. Rabies vaccination is required by law in California, starting at 12-16 weeks, with boosters required every three years.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Depending on your cat’s lifestyle, we may also recommend vaccinating against feline leukemia virus (FeLV), especially for outdoor or socially active cats. We’ll discuss your cat’s individual risk factors during their visit.
If necessary, we may recommend diagnostic testing, such as blood tests or vaccinations, to further assess your pet’s health and detect any underlying conditions. We also provide preventive treatments, such as parasite control and dental care, to keep your pet healthy and happy.
After only 2 years of undergrad, Dr. Z was lucky enough to get accepted into the veterinary program at Kansas State University, where he received his degree in 1976. Shortly after graduating Dr. Zanders decided to escape the cold and moved to San Diego to begin his career as a small animal veterinarian (he saw and treated large animals for 4 years too!).
