Pet Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention

Cat & Dog Vaccination & Reproductive Surgery Schedule

Up-to-date dog and cat vaccinations are critical to protecting your four-legged friend from a wide variety of contagious, and often serious, diseases. 

Likewise, having your pet spayed or neutered will not only help to prevent your pet from siring unwanted litters, but will also protect them from a range of serious and contagious diseases. These common veterinary surgeries can also help to protect your pet against some serious forms of cancer. They may prevent unwanted behaviors such as howling, scooting, roaming, and animal aggression.

Cat Vaccinations

In the first year of your kitten's life, they require the following shots to protect them from a whole host of serious diseases. 

• 6 to 8 weeks
  • Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia
• 10 to 12 weeks
  • Booster: Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia
  • Feline Leukemia
• 14 to 16 weeks
  • Rabies
  • Booster: Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia

  While the following are not cat shots, spaying, neutering and microchipping help protect your cat from a number of health issues, and therefore fall under the preventive health care umbrella. 

  • Spay (females) - Spaying your female cat prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, protects your cat against serious illnesses, and can help to prevent behaviors such as howling and scooting that accompany heat cycles.
  • Neuter (males) - Neutering your male cat prevents your pet from fathering unwanted kittens, protects your cat against various illnesses, and can help to prevent territory marking (spraying), roaming, howling, and cat aggression. 
  • Microchipping - A microchip is a permanent form of identification that is about the size of a grain of rice and placed under your pet’s skin. Pets that are microchipped have a better chance of being reunited with their owners if they are lost.
