Pet Vaccination Guide: Keep Them Safe, Always

Vaccinations protect your pet from serious, preventable diseases. Here's what every pet parent should know about keeping their pet's shots up to date.

1

Core Vaccines

Rabies, distemper and parvovirus vaccines are essential for every dog and cat.

2

Puppy & Kitten Schedule

Young pets typically need a series of vaccines starting around 6-8 weeks of age.

3

Booster Shots

Boosters keep immunity strong — don't skip your pet's annual or triennial follow-ups.

4

Track Records

Keep a copy of your pet's vaccination history handy for boarding, travel and vet visits.

5

Consult Your Vet

Your vet can recommend additional vaccines based on your pet's lifestyle and local risk factors.

Prevention is always kinder — and cheaper — than treatment. Staying on schedule keeps your pet protected.
