1. Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza (DAPP Vaccine). A combination vaccine for the following: 

• Distemper: This highly contagious viral disease can affect a puppy’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. It is often fatal if not treated promptly. Distemper is typically included in combination vaccines.
• Parvovirus: Canine parvovirus is a severe, contagious viral infection that primarily affects the intestines and can cause dehydration, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can be fatal if untreated, especially in puppies.
• Adenovirus (Canine Hepatitis): This vaccine helps protect against canine hepatitis, which affects the liver, kidneys, and eyes. It is part of many combination vaccines and is generally given alongside distemper and parvovirus protection.
• Parainfluenza: This virus contributes to kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease that causes coughing, nasal discharge, and in some cases, more severe respiratory issues. It is typically included in combination vaccines.

2. Rabies Vaccine: Rabies is a fatal viral infection that affects the brain and is transmittable to humans. Puppies are generally vaccinated for rabies at around 12 to 16 weeks of age, as this vaccine is required by law in many places.

3. Leptospirosis Vaccine: Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause liver and kidney failure. This vaccine may be recommended in areas where leptospirosis is more common, particularly in environments with exposure to wildlife or standing water.

4. Bordetella Vaccine (Kennel Cough): This vaccine helps protect against Bordetella bronchiseptica, a bacterium that causes kennel cough. It is commonly recommended for puppies who will be boarding, attending doggy daycare, or visiting places where many dogs congregate.

DAPP Vaccination

• Puppies: First dose at 8 weeks of age, with boosters every 4 weeks until 16 weeks old.
• Adults: Booster 1 year after the initial puppy series, then every 2 years.

Rabies Vaccination **Required by Law**

• Puppies: First dose at 16 weeks of age.
• Adults: Booster 1 year after the initial dose, then every 3 years

Leptospirosis Vaccination 

• Puppies: Initial series starting as early as 10–12 weeks, with a booster 3–4 weeks later.
• Adults: Booster annually

Bordetella Vaccination

• Puppies: Vaccinate at any age greater than 8 weeks
• Adults: Booster annually

1. Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, (FVRCP Vaccine). A combination vaccine for the following:

• Feline Herpesvirus (Rhinotracheitis): Feline herpesvirus is a leading cause of upper respiratory infections in cats. It can cause sneezing, nasal discharge, and eye problems. Although there is no cure, vaccination helps reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms.
• Calicivirus: Feline calicivirus is another virus that contributes to upper respiratory infections in cats, often causing mouth ulcers, fever, and difficulty breathing. Like herpesvirus, vaccination helps reduce the impact of infections caused by this virus.
• Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia): Feline distemper, also known as panleukopenia, is a highly contagious viral disease that affects the immune system, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system. It can be fatal if not treated, especially in young kittens. Vaccination is crucial in preventing this potentially deadly disease.

2. Rabies Vaccine: Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system and can be transmitted to humans and other animals. Vaccinating kittens for rabies is essential, as it is required by law in many areas and provides vital protection for both pets and people.

3. Feline Leukemia Vaccine: Feline leukemia is a viral disease that suppresses the immune system, leaving infected cats vulnerable to other infections and diseases. FeLV can lead to various health problems, including anemia and cancer. While not every kitten will need this vaccine, it is often recommended for those that will have exposure to outdoor environments or other cats of unknown health status.

FVRCP Vaccine

• Kittens: First dose at 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks old.
• Adults: Booster annually

Rabies Vaccination **Required by Law**

• Kittens: First dose at 16 weeks of age.
• Adults: Booster annually

Leukemia Vaccination

• Kittens: Initial series starting at 10–12 weeks of age and a booster 3–4 weeks later.
• Adults: Booster annually

To prepare your puppy or kitten for their vaccination appointments, work to support their comfort with handling and transportation. Bring them to the clinic in a secure carrier or leash and make the visit as positive as possible. If your pet is anxious, talk to our vet about strategies to help reduce stress.

Common mild reactions to vaccines include slight fever, lethargy, or soreness at the injection site. Serious reactions, although rare, may include severe swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Contact our veterinarian immediately if you notice any concerning symptoms or if your pet appears unusually unwell after a vaccination.
