Vaccinations
and Your Pet
Vaccines prepare your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight off specific diseases, reducing their risk of becoming seriously ill if they are ever exposed. Starting around 4–6 weeks of age, puppies and kittens begin their first series of vaccines, which are then boosted several times (depending on the vaccine) until they are about 18 weeks old.
After their initial series, pets will need boosters to maintain their immunity, most of which will be needed annually. By sticking to a consistent vaccination schedule, you can help your pet avoid preventable illnesses and enjoy a healthier, longer life.
Core vaccines are considered a necessity for every pet.
These immunizations should be given regardless of breed, life stage, lifestyle, or environment. The following vaccines protect against highly contagious or severe diseases that pose a universal risk to dogs and cats. By staying current on these core pet vaccines, your companion will be protected from the most common severe diseases.
Dogs
- Rabies: Protects against the fatal rabies virus, which can also infect humans.
- DAPP-L: A combination vaccine that defends against several life-threatening diseases, including canine distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis. Initial doses of this vaccine will be DAPP only, as leptospirosis requires less boosters.
Cats
- Rabies: A required vaccine to protect against the rabies virus.
- FVRCP: A combination vaccine that protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia.
Non-Core Vaccines for Cats and Dogs
Non-core vaccinations are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle, exposure risks, and environment. These vaccines provide additional protection when needed, depending on factors like boarding, socialization, or spending time outdoors. Our veterinary team will assess your pet’s daily activities, environment, and interactions to determine which non-core vaccines are appropriate.
Dogs
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended for dogs that spend time in group settings, such as boarding facilities, daycare, or grooming salons, where kennel cough can easily spread.
- Canine Influenza: Ideal for dogs that frequent social settings where they may catch the highly contagious canine flu.
- Lyme Disease: Recommended for dogs that spend time in wooded areas and hiking trails, as Lyme disease is transmitted through tick bites.
Cats
- FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus): Essential for cats that go outdoors or live with other cats who may already carry the virus. Strongly recommended for all kittens.
- Chlamydia: Recommended for outdoor cats that may encounter other felines or cats in multi-cat households where another cat is already infected.
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough): May be suggested for cats that are boarded or attend grooming appointments.
