Congratulations! You have chosen to bring a new pet into your home. It wasn't an easy decision, you knew there would be a lot of work and expense; but no matter what is going on in the world, having a furry friend to cuddle up to can make your heart feel lighter and ease your anxiety. The reward of unconditional love and companionship is irreplaceable.

Whether your new addition is a young pup or kitten, or an older pet, the type of healthcare you choose for your pet is important. Now that you have your newest family member home, start planning for ongoing veterinary care. Here at MASH, we take a minimalist approach to vaccinations to limit your pet's exposure to unnecessary toxins. We focus on core vaccines and only give a booster if the antibody level present is not high enough for protection. The list below shows our typical vaccine schedule.

Interested in insurance for your new pet? Holistic care, including nutritional supplements and many alternatives therapies, are covered by some pet insurance companies (holistic riders may apply) like Pet Plan and Embrace. Be sure to do your research but signing up while your pet is still young can save you money in the long run. The key is having insurance before your pet becomes injured or ill.
For over 30 years, MASH has offered alternative therapies and conventional veterinary medicine in a balanced approach to pet healthcare. Our goal is to support your pet’s vital energy for good health and well-being. We are integrating therapies like acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, and functional nutrition with oxygen and ozone therapies to increase the ability for the pet's body to heal and rebuild itself.
