Immunization Awareness Last Updated: 07/26/2022 |
Immunization Awareness During the
month of August, we celebrate National Immunization Awareness Month. Vaccines
are the most effective form of protection against the many illness’ pets can
contract. To keep your pets safe, we strongly recommend vaccinating them every
year. At 8 weeks of
age, puppies and kittens should receive their first vaccinations. To be fully
protected, they will need booster vaccinations every four weeks until they are
about 20 weeks old. It is very important to complete the entire vaccination
series. You may leave your pet vulnerable to infection if you skip booster
vaccinations. Canine Immunizations: • Rabies • DHPP
