Pet Vaccinations
Pet Vaccinations
At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic in Coconut Creek, South Florida, we offer essential dog and cat vaccinations to protect your pets from serious diseases. Vaccines play a vital role in preventive care, reducing illness severity and, in some cases, preventing disease entirely. Led by Dr. Marcelle Dias-Appelblatt, our team ensures each vaccine is administered with care and purpose. We prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being, never giving unnecessary vaccinations.
Why Are Vaccines Important for Pets?
Vaccinations play a vital role in strengthening your pet’s immune system, helping them fight off harmful viruses and bacteria. Staying up to date with pet vaccines reduces the risk of severe illness, prevents the spread of contagious diseases, and supports a longer, healthier life.
At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, we tailor vaccinations to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and specific needs, ensuring they receive the right protection at the right time.

How to Prepare Your Pet for Surgery at Urbanpawz Animal Clinic
Getting your pet ready for surgery is essential for a smooth procedure. To ensure comfort and readiness, here’s what you can do before the surgery.
Overview
Most surgeries are outpatient procedures, where they are dropped off early in the morning and picked up later in the day. If your pet needs continued care and monitoring after-hours, we will direct you and your pet to the appropriate overnight facility. All recommended recovery protocols should be strictly followed to ensure your pet returns to good health and a normal life as quickly as possible.
Fasting Instructions
In most cases, we advise that your pet not eat any food or treats at least 8 hours prior to surgery. Provide access to water at all times. If your pet has any chronic illness, we’ll provide more specific guidelines for when to withhold food and water before surgery.
Comfort Items
Bring a favorite toy or blanket to help your pet feel more at ease in the clinic.
Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals
If your pet gets anxious at the vet, make sure you administer any medications as discussed during the pre-surgical consultation. Please call if you have any questions about this.
Accessibility
Ensure that you will be available the day of the procedure to discuss any intraoperative findings, especially if your pet is scheduled for a dental cleaning.

After surgery, your pet will require special care to ensure a full recovery. At Urbanpawz Animal Clinic, we offer comprehensive post-surgical veterinary care services for pets in Coconut Creek, South Florida. Our services include:
