Vaccinations
For puppies, kittens, and adult pets due for their next round
Vaccinations are one of the simplest, most effective ways to protect your pet from serious, preventable disease. We recommend a schedule based on your dog or cat's age and lifestyle rather than a generic checklist, so your pet gets exactly what they need — no more, no less.
Who Needs This?
- New puppies and kittens starting their first vaccine series
- Adult dogs and cats due for annual or multi-year boosters
- Pets being boarded, groomed, or exposed to other animals
- Rescue or shelter pets with an unknown vaccine history
Signs It's Time to Schedule
- It's been more than a year since your pet's last vaccines
- You've just adopted a puppy, kitten, or adult rescue
- Your pet will be around other animals — boarding, daycare, dog parks
- You're not sure which vaccines your pet has already had

Recovery & Aftercare
Most pets go right back to normal activity after vaccination. Mild, short-lived soreness at the injection site or low energy for a day is common and not a cause for concern. Contact us if you notice facial swelling, vomiting, or unusual lethargy after a vaccine visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my puppy see the vet for vaccines?
Puppies typically need a vaccine series roughly every three to four weeks starting around six to eight weeks of age, continuing until about sixteen weeks.
Do indoor cats still need vaccines?
Yes. Even indoor cats benefit from core vaccines, since exposure can happen through open windows, other pets in the home, or trips to the vet or groomer.
What vaccines does my dog actually need?
Core vaccines are recommended for nearly all dogs, while others depend on lifestyle factors like boarding, hunting, or lake access. We'll recommend a specific set based on your dog's life.
Can I bring in my pet's vaccine records from a previous vet or shelter?
Yes, please bring any records you have. If you don't have them or your pet's history is unknown, we can start fresh with an appropriate schedule.
Are vaccine reactions common?
Serious reactions are uncommon. Mild soreness or tiredness for a day is normal. If you notice swelling, vomiting, or trouble breathing after a vaccine, call us right away.
What Does It Cost?
Vaccine pricing depends on which vaccines your pet needs and how many are due at once. We'll go over exactly what's recommended, and what it costs, before we vaccinate.
