As warm-weather activities, travel, and pet gatherings peak in July, the risk of infectious diseases also rises. That’s why it’s essential to prioritize booster vaccines for your dog or cat this summer. At Good Neighbor Vet, our mission is to provide timely, affordable, and convenient mobile vaccine clinics throughout the Pacific Northwest—just when your pet needs us most.
1. Increased Exposure During Summer Adventures
July is bustling with trips to dog parks, lakes, hiking trails, and boarding facilities. These environments introduce your pet to other animals and potential pathogens—from kennel cough at dog daycare to parvovirus lurking in shared spaces. Vaccines like DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) for dogs and FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) for cats offer frontline protection against these common threats. Good Neighbor Vet ensures your pet is up to date before summer adventures begin.
2. Rabies Compliance and Community Safety
Rabies prevention is critical year‑round, but summertime often brings encounters with wildlife—bats, raccoons, and skunks—during evening outdoor activities. In many states, rabies vaccination every 1–3 years (based on your pet’s prior history) is legally required for dogs and cats. Good Neighbor Vet offers state‑licensed rabies vaccines on-site, including PureVax options for cats, making it simple to comply without scheduling hassles.
3. Streamlined Multi‑Pet Visits
Traveling this summer with multiple dogs or kittens? Bring them all! Our clinics accommodate up to 6 pets per family, allowing you to check off vaccines, deworming, heartworm/FeLV testing, and microchipping in one visit. This efficiency is perfect for busy families or foster carers needing comprehensive care.
4. Prevention of Tick‑ and Mosquito‑Borne Diseases
Warm weather also brings blood‑borne threats like heartworm and tick‑borne illnesses. While vaccinations don’t cover these directly, our clinics provide heartworm testing and prevention advice, along with flea/tick control education—comprehensive summer protection in a single stop.
5. No Appointment, No Wait—Easy Access
Good Neighbor Vet mobile clinics run on a walk‑in basis—no appointment needed. Clinics operate on weekends and evenings in pet‑friendly public venues. Stop by during a July community event, shopping trip, or stroll in a pet store parking lot, and leave with all necessary immunizations—without disrupting your summer plans.
6. Vaccine Bundle Savings & Payment Options
To help streamline cost-of-care, we offer bundled vaccine packages—puppy, kitten, and adult—that include deworming and microchips. Partial payment plans are available, giving you flexibility while your pet stays safe and healthy.
7. Boosting Summer Wellness Beyond Vaccines
Vaccinations do more than prevent disease—they boost your pet’s immune system and set the stage for proactive wellness. During your July visit, our licensed veterinarians also check vital signs, weight, and body condition, answering any pet health questions on the spot. If any concerns arise, we’ll recommend follow-up care or testing.
