DOG VACCINATION
Vaccination is an important component to preventing disease in your pet. Puppy and kitten vaccine protocols are designed to boost the youngster’s immune system as the protection passed from mom wanes. As that timeline is unique for each animal, we administer boosters as a precaution. Older animals with previous known vaccine history will require boosters at different times depending on the particular vaccine. Older animals without known vaccination history must receive a booster of all but the Rabies vaccine and intranasal Kennel Cough vaccine within 3-4 weeks of the initial vaccine or they will be considered not protected. Vaccines can be a confusing subject so please speak truthfully to our staff so we can protect your pet adequately.
