Welcome to Westside Family Pet Clinic, your trusted partner for pet vaccinations in Norfolk. Our veterinary team is dedicated to keeping your pets healthy and protected year-round.
Vaccinations play a vital role in preventing serious, contagious diseases in both dogs and cats. They help your pet build immunity against illnesses such as rabies, parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukemia. By vaccinating your pet, you are not only protecting their health but also helping to safeguard your family and the Norfolk community from diseases that can spread between animals and people.
At Westside Family Pet Clinic, our veterinarians tailor vaccination protocols to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Puppies and kittens need a series of vaccines to build strong immunity, while adult pets benefit from regular boosters to maintain protection. Vaccines are a safe, proven way to keep your pet healthy through all life stages. Our veterinary team takes the time to explain which vaccines are recommended for your pet and answer any questions you may have about the process or your pet’s safety.

Our goal is to make your pet’s vaccination visit as stress-free and informative as possible. Here’s how we ensure a positive experience every time.
Before administering any vaccine, our veterinary professionals perform a thorough physical examination. This ensures your pet is healthy enough for vaccination and allows us to catch any early health concerns. We’ll also review your pet’s medical history and discuss their lifestyle to create a personalized vaccination plan.
Our team recommends core vaccines for all pets, along with optional vaccines based on your pet’s unique needs. For example, dogs who spend time outdoors or board frequently may need additional protection. We explain each vaccine’s purpose so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
We use gentle handling and positive reinforcement to keep your pet comfortable during the appointment. Most vaccines are administered quickly and cause only brief discomfort. Our veterinary team monitors your pet for any immediate reactions and provides guidance for at-home observation.
After vaccinations, we share clear instructions on what to watch for at home, including mild side effects that may occur. If you have any concerns, our team is always available by phone to answer questions or schedule a follow-up visit as needed.

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. They prevent illness, reduce the spread of contagious conditions, and contribute to a longer, healthier life for your pet. Our approach to pet vaccinations in Norfolk combines up-to-date medical knowledge with a genuine commitment to your pet’s well-being.
Vaccines protect against highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper. By vaccinating your pet, you greatly reduce their risk of severe illness and emergency veterinary visits.
Some diseases, such as rabies, can be transmitted from animals to humans. Keeping your pets vaccinated helps protect everyone in your household and the Norfolk community at large.
Many boarding facilities, groomers, and travel requirements mandate up-to-date vaccinations. Staying current ensures your pet can safely access these services whenever needed.

If you notice any of these, or have questions about your pet’s vaccination status, contact our team. Timely vaccination appointments help keep your pet protected and healthy.
Vaccine schedules vary depending on your pet’s age, species, health, and lifestyle. Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines every few weeks until they reach adulthood. Adult pets typically need annual or triennial boosters, depending on the vaccine type. Our veterinarians will review your pet’s records and recommend the best schedule for ongoing protection. If you’re unsure when your pet is due, our Norfolk veterinary team can help you determine the right timing for their next visit.
