Vaccine Schedules for Young Pets
Puppies and kittens are highly vulnerable to disease. Vaccinations start around 8 weeks of age and continue until about 16–18 weeks old. At this time, your pet will be old enough for the legally required rabies vaccine, along with the last of the core boosters.
Your pet will need to stick to the timeline given by our veterinarians. Spacing vaccine boosters too far apart will mean restarting the entire series, which delays full protection. Until the full vaccine series is complete, young pets should avoid dog parks, grooming facilities, and socializing with unfamiliar animals due to increased risk of illness.
We’ll create a vaccine schedule that’s easy to follow and based on the intended lifestyle of your pet.
5 Things Every New Pet Owner Should Know
- Early Habits Matter: The way your puppy or kitten eats, plays, and socializes now can shape their behavior for life. Start good habits early.
- Don’t Skip Check-Ups: Young pets grow fast, and subtle changes in weight or development can be early signs of underlying health concerns.
- Teething Is Temporary, but Troublesome: Chewing is a normal (and necessary) phase. Talk to our team for suggestions on teething while protecting your furniture.
- Parasites Are Common: Even indoor pets can get worms or fleas. Prevention is easier than treatment, so don’t skip the monthly preventatives once your pet is old enough to start.
- Nutrition Needs Change: Growing pets need the right nutrition for proper development. Our veterinarians can recommend options based on breed and size.
