Texas law mandates that all dogs and cats older than four months receive the rabies vaccination. However, several other core pet vaccinations are similarly vital. In most cases, we advise giving cats the FVRCP vaccine and dogs the combo DAPP shot. The FVRCP vaccine protects cats from rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia, and the DAPP vaccine prevents distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvo.
We also offer a variety of pet vaccines based on lifestyle considerations. We’ll discuss your pet’s lifestyle with you to help determine which vaccines they need most. An indoor-only cat’s needs differ from those of an outdoor cat. Additionally, dogs who frequent grooming, boarding, and daycare facilities or pet-friendly spaces need certain vaccinations that other dogs don’t. By working with you to identify their requirements, we can protect your dog or cat against the diseases they are most likely to encounter without over-vaccinating them.
Effective Cat and Dog Vaccine Schedules
For the newest pet members of your family, we will discuss kitten vaccine schedules and puppy vaccine schedules. Our safe pet vaccination protocols follow strict safety measures, so you can feel confident that your puppy and kitten are getting the best care. We also can advise on vaccines for your senior pets.
