Serving Orchard Park, NY

Orchard Park is a town in Erie County, New York. The town was

separated from the town of Hamburg in 1850. In 1850, it was named “Ellicott”, after Joseph Ellicott, an agent of the Holland Land Company. Around 1934, the town was renamed “Orchard Park” after its principal settlement. The town encompasses an area of 38.52 square miles. It is a vibrant town that over 29,000 people call home.


Many of the residents of the town have pets. These pets are additions to the families of the residents. They care for them and love them. Pets, just like humans, require regular health check-ups and vaccinations. Animal hospitals are the equivalent of human hospitals and clinics. You can get all your pet’s healthcare needs attended to there. Transit Animal Hospital is the animal hospital you can trust in the Orchard Park, NY area. 

When Should You Take a Pet to the Animal Hospital? 

Anything that concerns you as a pet owner is valid enough to take your pet to be checked out at an animal hospital. Here are some of the most common reasons why pet owners bring their pets to an animal hospital. 

 

Labored Breathing: Labored breathing could be a sign that your pet has come down with a sickness or that there is something stuck in their throat. Either way, a trip to a local animal hospital should be made if your pet is having trouble breathing. Regardless of the cause of the labored breathing, a veterinarian will be able to help you diagnose the problem. 


Consistent Vomiting or Diarrhea: Several illnesses can cause pets to have consistent diarrhea or vomiting, but pet vaccinations can also cause diarrhea. However, if your pet has not recently gotten any vaccinations, consistent vomiting or diarrhea are reasons to rush your pet to an animal hospital. 

 

Ingestion of Toxic Substance or a Foreign Object: When you cannot confirm whether your pet has swallowed something toxic or a foreign object, it is best to take them to be checked out. Toxic substances being swallowed by pets is a classic situation when better safe than sorry should be followed to avoid the possible death of your pet. 

The Importance of Animal Vaccinations

Orchard Park, like everywhere else in New York State, has strict requirements when it comes to animal vaccinations. Vaccines protect against multiple illnesses and diseases; vaccinated pets can experience less severe symptoms or even avoid the sickness altogether. Experts agree that widespread use of vaccinations within the last century has prevented death and disease in millions of pets across the country.


Here are just a few of the ways that animal vaccinations can improve your pet's quality of life:


Disease Prevention: Many pet illnesses are lessened or even eradicated due to animal vaccines.

Cost Savings: While animal vaccines do cost money upfront, treating a preventable illness is much more expensive. Vaccinating your pet can save you money in the long run.

Protect Other Pets & People: Some illnesses that infect animals in the wild can pass to pets and then from pets to people. Animal vaccinations can help protect every member of your family.

Remain Compliant: State and local ordinances require that pet owners vaccinate their animals. Making sure your pet is up-to-date on their vaccines ensures that you remain compliant.
