Vaccines save lives! 🐾💉
Vaccination is one of the most important ways to protect your dog or cat from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases.
🐶 Core Vaccines for Dogs:
* Rabies
* DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis/Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)
* Leptospirosis
🐱 Core Vaccines for Cats:
* Rabies
* FVRCP (Feline Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)
* FeLV (for kittens and at-risk adult cats)
📅 When Should Vaccinations Start?
* 6–8 weeks: First puppy and kitten vaccines
* Every 3–4 weeks: Boosters until at least 16 weeks of age
* 12–16 weeks: First Rabies vaccine, according to local regulations
* After the initial series: Some vaccines require annual boosters, while others are given every 3 years
Even indoor cats need protection! Vaccination schedules depend on your pet’s age, health, lifestyle, and vaccination history.
