Puppies and kittens typically begin their vaccination series at 6-8 weeks of age, with booster shots given every 3-4 weeks until they are around 16 weeks old.
The frequency of vaccinations varies. Core vaccines (e.g., rabies, distemper) are typically given annually or every 3 years, while other vaccines may be needed more frequently depending on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.
Yes, vaccines are safe for pets and are thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy. Side effects are rare but may include mild lethargy or swelling at the injection site.
Common vaccinations include rabies, distemper, parvovirus (for dogs), feline leukemia (for cats), and Bordetella (kennel cough). Our veterinarians will recommend the right vaccines based on your pet’s specific needs.
Vaccines can prevent many serious and contagious diseases, but they are not effective against all health issues. Regular vet visits and preventive care are essential for your pet’s overall health.
