Why Vaccinations Matter

Vaccines:

  • Protect pets from deadly diseases
  • Reduce the spread of infections
  • Lower long-term medical costs
  • Protect humans from zoonotic diseases like rabies

Core Vaccinations for Dogs

Most veterinarians recommend:

  • Rabies – legally and medically essential
  • Parvovirus – highly contagious and deadly
  • Distemper – affects the nervous and respiratory system
  • Hepatitis – attacks liver and vital organs

Puppies usually start vaccinations at 6–8 weeks of age.


Core Vaccinations for Cats

Cats typically need:

  • Rabies
  • Feline Panleukopenia
  • Calicivirus
  • Herpesvirus

Even indoor cats need vaccinations, as viruses can be carried on shoes and clothing.


Final Advice

Always consult a qualified veterinarian for a proper vaccination schedule. Delaying vaccines puts not only your pet, but other animals and people at risk.
