When Does My Pet Need Vaccines?

Cats and dogs need routine vaccinations throughout their lives to maintain their immunity. As puppies and kittens, they’ll be initially protected by antibodies from their mother’s milk, but soon after weaning, those antibodies fade. To boost their immune systems again, we’ll start them on a series of vaccines during their first year of life.

After their first year, adult cats and dogs receive vaccines on an annual or triennial basis, depending on guidelines from the vaccine manufacturer. Our vaccines are some of the safest in the industry, so your pet gets the most protection with the least risk.
