A Unique Vaccination Protocol for Every Pet
A Unique Vaccination Protocol
for Every Pet
Your pet’s vaccination protocol begins within their first year of life. As puppies and kittens, they start with a vaccine schedule where they receive a series of vaccines to boost their immunity. Your veterinarian will work with you to develop this tailored protocol for their first year and beyond!
Rabies (core)
This vaccine is required by law and given at 4-6 months of age, and then every 1 or 3 years after.
DHPP (core)
This combo vaccine covers distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Your puppy will receive a series of three vaccines 3-4 weeks apart starting at 8 weeks of age. Boosters are every 1 or 3 years.

We recommend this noncore vaccine for pets who board often, are groomed regularly or participate in dog shows or training. Boosters are annual or every 6 months, depending on the type of vaccine given.
