Our Tracy veterinarians can help you protect your cat or dog from a wide range of serious diseases and disorders with routine pet vaccinations and parasite prevention.
Protection & Prevention
At Affordable Pet Vet Clinic, we focus on preventive care to keep common diseases and disorders from developing in the first place.
Combined with regular wellness exams, pet vaccinations and parasite prevention form the foundation of your pet's routine healthcare.
Preventive care gives your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life. Our team will work with you to create a custom preventive care plan for your cat or dog, tailored to their unique needs.
Vaccination & Reproductive Surgery Schedule
Keep your puppy or kitten up to date on their shots throughout their lifetime to help protect them against a range of serious, sometimes life-threating diseases; and have your pet spayed or neutered to prevent the birth of unwanted litters, protect their long-term health and prevent unwanted behaviors such as howling, scooting, roaming and animal aggression.
