The primary purpose of a vaccine is to prepare your pet's immune system to fight against diseases. A vaccination allows your pet's immune system to respond so it will be able to ward off future illnesses.

What Is The Relationship Between Vaccines and My Pet's Health?

Vaccinated pets are better protected from dangerous diseases that can be life-threatening. Pets should start a series of vaccinations early in life, then receive boosters throughout their lifetime to maintain the effectiveness.

What Are Core and Non-Core Vaccines?

Core vaccines are agreed upon by veterinarians to be essential as they protect against severe diseases that can affect pets and humans. Non-core vaccines depend primarily on your pet's lifestyle or pre-existing health conditions.

How Do I Know When My Pet Should Get Vaccinated?

Our veterinarian will establish the best vaccination schedule needed for your pet. There isn't a 'one size fits all' approach for your pet's vaccination schedule. Our team will establish a schedule that is appropriate for the type of breed and your pet's lifestyle.

Is There a Risk for My Pet with Receiving a Vaccine?

The stimulation of your pet's immune system occurs when it receives a vaccination. As a result, there may be a slight fever or redness where the injection was given. In rare instances, pets can experience additional symptoms, but they are overall a very safe part of preventative medicine.

Unlock the Secrets of Your Pet's Health with Genetic Testing

At Central Valley Vet Hospital, we are excited to offer genetic testing services that can provide valuable insights into your pet's health and well-being. Genetic testing is a cutting-edge tool that allows us to unlock the secrets hidden within your pet's DNA, offering a deeper understanding of their unique genetic makeup and potential health risks.

What is Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing involves analyzing your pet's DNA to identify specific genes and genetic variations associated with various traits and health conditions. By examining their genetic code, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of their genetic predispositions, enabling us to take proactive measures to promote their overall health and prevent potential problems.

Benefits of Genetic Testing

Disease Risk Assessment

Genetic testing can identify specific genetic markers associated with inherited diseases and health conditions. This information allows us to assess your pet's risk for developing certain illnesses, such as genetic disorders, breed-specific conditions, and other hereditary diseases. With this knowledge, we can develop personalized preventive care plans to mitigate or manage these risks.

Early Detection and Treatment

Genetic testing can help identify potential health issues before symptoms manifest. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and treatment, which can significantly improve outcomes and enhance your pet's quality of life. By staying one step ahead of potential health problems, we can provide the most effective and timely care possible.

Tailored Nutrition and Exercise Plans

Genetic testing can provide insights into your pet's unique dietary and exercise needs. Understanding their genetic predispositions can help us design personalized nutrition plans and exercise regimens that are tailored to their specific requirements. This promotes optimal health and can prevent weight-related issues or nutritional deficiencies.

Breeding Decisions

For breeders or pet owners considering breeding their pets, genetic testing is invaluable. By screening for genetic markers, we can identify carriers of certain inherited diseases, helping to make informed decisions regarding breeding pairs. This proactive approach promotes healthier offspring and minimizes the risk of passing on genetic conditions.

Behavior and Training

Certain genetic variations can influence your pet's behavior and response to training. By understanding your pet's genetic predispositions, we can provide tailored behavior and training recommendations to address specific needs, enhancing the bond between you and your furry friend.

Our Genetic Testing Services

We offer a comprehensive range of genetic tests designed to provide valuable information about your pet's health.

Breed-Specific Genetic Testing

This test identifies the breed composition of mixed-breed pets and assesses breed-related health risks.

Disease-Specific Genetic Testing

We offer genetic tests that screen for specific inherited diseases or genetic markers associated with various health conditions.

Parentage Verification

This test confirms the parentage of purebred or mixed-breed pets, providing accurate information for breeders or owners.

DNA Profiling

DNA profiling is useful for identification purposes and can help track lost or stolen pets.

Pharmacogenetics

This type of genetic testing helps identify how your pet may metabolize certain medications, ensuring the most appropriate and effective treatment options are chosen.

Our genetic testing services are conducted using state-of-the-art technology and are performed by experienced professionals.

Central Valley Veterinary office was caring, professional, and genuinely concerned about my dog's well-being. The doctor removed some foxtails from his eyelid, kept him comfortable, and clearly explained the treatment. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They took the time to answer my questions, kept me informed throughout the visits, and made sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and cared for. Their kindness and professionalism truly stood out. Thanks to their excellent care, my dog recovered well. I highly recommend this veterinary office for their compassion, professionalism, dedicated staff, and commitment to providing outstanding care.

Yesterday evening we came here as an emergency when our almost 2 years old micro bully, Macho who was having an anxiety/panic attack on our way home. It was his 1st time and could have been his last if it wasn't for the amazing souls at Central Valley. All staff is professional, friendly and they saved our baby boy's life with responding in a timely manner. His panic attack turned into a heat stroke symptoms and his tongue was purple when they checked him. We love him so much and would've been completely devastated to lose him. He is back to his normal self less than 24 hours later. Highly recommend this place. We can't thank them enough for saving his life. Thank you!! God Bless You all and your Business.

They tried their absolute best to save my heart cat Zeke, unfortunately I had to let him go and they gave me a quiet and safe space to say my goodbyes as we helped him leave this world. They were so compassionate with his care and my emotional state of loss and grief. It took me a couple years to heal from the loss but I have brought my new cats in and know they will recieve the best treatment with knowledgeable and supportive staff. All of the doctors and vet techs here treat the customers' pets like their own. Very professional and affordable and work great with pet insurance to ease the claim process. My trio will be here and have the best care for the rest of their spoiled lives.

Was referred to this place in an emergency they where able to to treat the situation with urgency very professional, office staff are absolutely fantastic, even sat there in waiting room sharing there personal stories from experience with animals with me…. Gave me options for treatment whole 9 yards to get my dogs back to playing. Have been to many vets for my rescue animals and by far this place is worth the 40 min drive. Prices still better than most vets I've ever been to what would have been a 1200$ visit recently was only 800$ here. 100% recommend Central Valley vet for any vet needs or questions, hard to find honest people who take pride in there work.

Everyone is awesome. Alyssa Liz at the front desk. Sweet Nice and affectionate staff. Andy and Mani the technicians were So helpful. Dr. Christie is so kind. I live in Fremont, but drove all the way to Manteca and it was worth the drive because the same treatment that I was getting for $3000 in the bay area is only $1000 here. Highly recommend this place

Hello, my name is Joyce Inglemon and my German Shepard Santana are clients of Central Valley Vet Hospital. Ahmed and Drew saved the life of my best friend. I had previously spent $675.00 on my guy with absolutely no positive results, he went in with bad ear problems and a snout problem and left with the same problem. I brought it to the attention of the owner and he got the very best on my K9, which was Ahmed and Drew, nothing left to say but excellent diagnosis, results positive and me and Santana are very happy campers. Thank you so very much. PS please excuse me if I misspelled your names, you know who you are and I definitely do.

Smokey was there this past weekend for his annual follow up & and allergy shot. The staff was all so very nice. Both the vet assistant & the vet took their time during our visit. They made sure to answer all our questions and concerns regarding his allergies. Glad we switched over to them last year.
