Routine Vaccinations & Preventative Medicine

Vaccination Protocol

Our vaccination protocol is simple. For kittens or puppies vaccinations start between 6-8 weeks of age and continues every 3-4 weeks until two vaccine sessions have occurred past the age of 12 weeks. So older puppies and kittens may not need as many. However, younger puppies and kittens are more vulnerable to many of the diseases we vaccinate against. Therefore, it is very important to start vaccinating as close to 6-8 weeks of age. Our vaccines are safe, effective, and approved by the FDA. Multivalent vaccines are used when appropriate.

 

We recommend the following vaccinations for puppies*:

1. Distemper virus (Beginning at 6-8 weeks)
