Vaccines We Provide for Dogs & Cats
If your pet is overdue for their vaccinations and needs them updated as soon as possible, you can just walk in during our opening hours to have them taken care of. Our veterinarians take time to learn about your pet’s medical history and put together a vaccine plan tailored to their lifestyle, age, and breed.

How Soon Should My Pet be Vaccinated?
Dog and cat vaccinations should be given as early in your pet’s life as possible, preferably starting around 6-8 weeks. For most healthy puppies and kittens, they receive a series of boosters every 3-4 weeks to gradually increase their immunity to harmful viruses.
Every pet’s vaccine schedule may differ based on a variety of factors, including their personal health, their home environment, and the presence of other pets and/or wildlife. Our goal is to give your dog or cat the vaccines they need for maximum protection and the healthiest life; most pets do not need every vaccine we offer.
