Vaccination Schedule for Puppies & Kittens:
Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations during their first four months of life. They initially receive antibodies from their mother’s milk which protect them, but these can interfere with vaccinations. Therefore, vaccinations are administered in a series starting at 6-8 weeks of age, with boosters given at 12 and 16 weeks.
Canine Core Vaccines:
- DA2PP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza): Given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks. Boosters are needed yearly.
- Rabies: Given at 16 weeks of age and requires yearly boosters.
Canine Additional Vaccines:
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough Vaccine): Given once annually, recommended for dogs in contact with others of unknown vaccination status.
- Leptospirosis Vaccine: Given in two doses, initially and then 3-4 weeks later, followed by yearly boosters.
- Lyme Vaccine: Given in two doses initially, then yearly, recommended for dogs in high-risk areas.
Feline Core Vaccines:
- FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia): Given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks. Boosters are needed yearly.
- Rabies: Given at 16 weeks of age and requires yearly boosters.
Feline Additional Vaccines:
- Feline Leukemia Vaccine: Recommended for outdoor cats, given initially and followed by yearly boosters.
For deworming, we recommend treatments at each visit due to common parasite infections in young pets. Your breeder may have started initial vaccinations and deworming, but continuing this with us ensures comprehensive care for your puppy or kitten.
