Dogs face numerous health risks from infectious diseases. At The Hometown Veterinarian in Marshalltown, Iowa, we believe in using the safest and most effective vaccines available to provide protection against these threats. As part of our commitment to quality, we offer Boehringer Ingelheim’s Recombitek line of recombinant vaccines and Imrab 3 TF, a thimerosal-free rabies vaccine, for optimal canine health.

Why Are Dog Vaccinations Important?

Vaccinations are crucial for safeguarding dogs against serious diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and rabies. These illnesses can cause severe health complications and may even be fatal. Fortunately, dog vaccines offer reliable protection, allowing your pet to enjoy a healthier, longer life.

Advanced Recombinant Vaccine Technology for Dogs

The safety and effectiveness of vaccines have improved significantly over the years, particularly with the advent of recombinant vaccine technology. Recombinant vaccines like those in the Recombitek line provide targeted protection by using only essential proteins to stimulate immunity. This reduces the need for additional chemicals and minimizes the risk of side effects, making these vaccines ideal for dogs.

At The Hometown Veterinarian, we exclusively use Boehringer Ingelheim’s Recombitek vaccines for dogs. Recombitek vaccines cover various canine diseases and are designed to provide the best balance of safety and efficacy. These vaccines are formulated to be well-tolerated, even for dogs with sensitive immune systems.

Thimerosal-Free Rabies Vaccination: Imrab 3 TF

Rabies is a severe viral disease that can affect both pets and humans. To ensure maximum safety for your dog, we offer Imrab 3 TF, a thimerosal-free rabies vaccine. By eliminating thimerosal—a mercury-based preservative—Imrab 3 TF provides safe, reliable rabies protection without unnecessary additives.

Customized Dog Vaccination Plans

Just like cats, dogs require vaccination plans that are tailored to their specific needs. At The Hometown Veterinarian, we assess each dog’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health status to create a customized vaccination schedule. Whether it’s puppy shots, boosters, or annual updates, we’re here to ensure your dog receives the appropriate level of protection.

Our goal is to provide a safe and effective vaccination experience, giving you peace of mind and helping your dog stay healthy and protected. If you have questions or want to learn more about dog vaccinations, our knowledgeable veterinarians are here to help you make informed decisions for your pet’s well-being.
