Compassionate Preventative Care That Starts with Vaccines

At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, we believe that prevention is the cornerstone of every healthy pet's life. Vaccinations are one of the most powerful and cost-effective tools available in veterinary medicine, protecting your fur babies from serious, and often life-threatening, diseases that remain active throughout Nebraska and the greater Omaha area.
Our experienced veterinary team, led by Dr. Martin Ramm and our staff of licensed veterinarians and technicians, provides tailored vaccination plans based on your pet's age, species, lifestyle, and individual health history. No two pets are the same, and we treat every visit as an opportunity to deepen our relationship with you and your animal companion. Whether you're a new pet owner bringing in a puppy or kitten for their first round of shots, or a longtime client managing your senior pet's booster schedule, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

Vaccinations for Cats and Dogs

Vaccinations are one of the most effective tools available to protect your dog or cat from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, our veterinary team tailors vaccine protocols based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and individual exposure risks.
Dog Vaccinations

Dog Vaccinations

  • Core Vaccines: Core immunizations are recommended for all dogs regardless of lifestyle or environment. These include Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, and Adenovirus, typically administered together as a combination vaccine.
  • Non-Core Vaccines: Non-core vaccines are recommended based on your dog's activity level, environment, and risk of exposure. These may include Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis, Canine Influenza, and Lyme Disease.
Cat Vaccinations

Cat Vaccinations

  • Core Vaccines: Core immunizations are recommended for all cats, including those that live exclusively indoors. These include Rabies, Feline Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia — typically administered together as the FVRCP combination vaccine. Rabies vaccination is required by Nebraska law for all cats.
  • Non-Core Vaccines: Non-core vaccines are recommended based on your cat's outdoor access, contact with other cats, and individual risk factors. These may include Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

What to Expect From Your Pet's Vaccination Visit

We design each visit to be as stress-free as possible for your pet and for you.

CONSULT

This is the first step in the full arch process. During this appointment, you will meet with your Dr. Kurt O. Bally DMD FICOI to discuss your needs and options for dental implants. The consultation will typically take about an hour. This first and free visit is $525 value.
STEP 1
STEP 2

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.
STEP 3
STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
STEP 5
STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.
STEP 7
STEP 8

DELIVERY

This is the appointment where your permanent dental bridge is placed. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour. It's a truly rewarding visit for everyone.

POST-DELIVERY CONSULT AND DOCUMENTATION

This appointment is held after your new zirconia implant smile is installed and your final night guard is given and instructions to maintain your smile are discussed. Final pictures, X-rays and video mark the end of your zirconia implant smile journey.
STEP 9
STEP 10

MAINTENANCE

Your zirconia implant smile will need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to function properly. This may include cleaning, adjustments, and checkups.

Comfortable Check-In

Our individually numbered parking stalls and text-based check-in system let you notify us on arrival so your exam room is clean and ready before you come in. Dogs remain leashed; cats travel in carriers.

Comprehensive Wellness Exam

Every vaccination appointment begins with a full nose-to-tail physical examination. We assess your pet's weight, dental health, coat condition, heart, lungs, lymph nodes, and overall body condition before recommending any vaccines.

Personalized Vaccine Recommendations

Based on your pet's species, age, lifestyle, travel habits, and prior health history, our veterinarians recommend a vaccine protocol that balances protection with your individual pet's needs. We never over-vaccinate.

Administration & Monitoring

Vaccines are administered by our licensed technical staff with a gentle, fear-reduced approach. We observe your pet briefly post-vaccination and provide you with a written record and reminder for your pet's next due date.

Ongoing Reminders & Records
