Vaccination Schedules For Cats & Dogs

One of the best ways to protect your pet from acquiring a contagious and possibly deadly disease is by providing routine vaccinations.

Kittens

During their first year, kittens need several vaccinations and procedures to protect them from threatening diseases. After their first year, your cat will only need boosters on the core vaccinations every one to three years, depending on the type of vaccine used and other factors specific to your cat's needs.

Puppies

As puppies' immune systems develop during the first year, they require a series of vaccinations to protect them from several serious diseases. Following the first year, your dog will require boosters on the core vaccines every one to three years. The frequency will be determined by the type of vaccine used as well as your dog's unique needs.

  • Phenomenal - the best word I can use to describe the doctors and staff at FAC. We have used them for many, many years and they have always treated our fur babies so great. They went above and beyond when we boarded our dog and he would not eat and they were so supportive when we lost two of our babies back to back. Great team!!
