This week, we would like to share the importance of vaccinations for our feline friends!!
First we want to start with FVRCP.
The FVRCP vaccine is a core vaccine for cats that protects against three highly contagious and potentially serious diseases: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus), Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia. These illnesses can cause severe respiratory infections, painful oral ulcers, eye problems, and in the case of panleukopenia, life-threatening gastrointestinal disease and immune suppression. Because these viruses spread easily between cats—through direct contact, shared food bowls, or even on human clothing—the risk of exposure is high, especially in multi-cat households, shelters, and boarding facilities. Vaccination greatly reduces the chance of infection and helps prevent widespread outbreaks. By keeping cats up to date on their FVRCP vaccine, owners protect their pets’ long-term health, reduce veterinary costs associated with treatment, and contribute to the overall wellbeing of the feline community.
