Why Vaccinations Matter
Vaccinations are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your pet's health. They help prevent serious and potentially fatal diseases.
Core Vaccines for Dogs
Distemper: Protects against a serious viral illness affecting the respiratory and nervous systems.
Parvovirus: A highly contagious and often fatal disease in dogs.
Rabies: Required by law in many areas and essential for public safety.
Hepatitis: Protects against infectious canine hepatitis.
Core Vaccines for Cats
Feline Herpesvirus & Calicivirus: Protects against common upper respiratory infections.
Feline Panleukopenia: A severe and often fatal disease in cats.
Rabies: Important for outdoor cats and legally required in many regions.
Vaccination Schedule
Puppies and kittens typically receive their first vaccines at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Adult pets need regular boosters - consult your vet for the right schedule.
Consult Your Vet
Always speak with your veterinarian to determine the best vaccination plan for your pet based on their age, lifestyle, and health status.
