Vaccines for Puppies and Kittens

Puppies and kittens begin their vaccination series at about 6–8 weeks of age. They receive booster vaccines over several months to help build strong immunity.

These early vaccines are critical for protecting young pets while their immune systems are still developing.

Lifestyle Based Vaccines

Some vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s activities.

Pets that travel, visit dog parks, attend daycare, or stay at boarding facilities may need additional protection against illnesses like kennel cough or canine influenza.

Your veterinarian will help determine which vaccines are appropriate.
