Dog and Cat Vaccinations

Vaccinations are an important part of keeping your pet happy and healthy. Both Dogs and Cats require vaccinations from the time they are puppies and kittens on through adulthood. Most vaccinations begin at the age of 8 weeks. It is important to vaccinate your young pet before you expose them to other animals. This helps protect your vulnerable puppy or kitten from various infections and diseases. Even as your pet ages, you will need to keep all vaccinations current to prevent diseases. Please contact us if you have any questions about when your pet is due for its next vaccination.
