Pet Vaccination FAQ
Why are vaccinations important?
Vaccinations shield pets from serious illnesses such as Parvovirus, Distemper, Kennel Cough, Leptospirosis, Lyme disease, Feline Leukemia Virus, and Rabies. By staying up to date with puppy vaccination or kitten boosters, you give your pet the strongest defense against disease.
Vaccinations are particularly important for puppies, kittens, and other young animals with immature immune systems. Veterinary vaccinations generally begin at 6-8 weeks of age and are boosted throughout your pet’s life, depending on the vaccine. Our veterinary doctors will determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your pet to ensure they receive the necessary protection at the right times.
How are Pet Vaccines Administered?
Vaccines work by introducing the immune system to inactive or small amounts of bacteria or virus, helping the body build immunity without causing illness. Depending on the type, vaccines may be given by subcutaneous injection (under the skin), orally, or intranasally.
When Should I Vaccinate my Pet?
Vaccinations are especially important for young pets with developing immune systems. Puppy vaccinations and kitten series usually begin at 6–8 weeks of age and continue with booster shots throughout life. Our veterinary team will create a tailored plan, whether it’s a dog vaccine schedule or ongoing cat vaccinations, based on your pet’s risk factors and lifestyle.
