How We Determine Which Vaccines Your Pet Needs

Each pet has a unique lifestyle, and their vaccination plan should reflect that. We consider your pet’s age, habits, travel history, exposure to wildlife, and contact with other animals. This allows us to recommend a thoughtful mix of core and lifestyle vaccines that give the right level of protection.

Here’s how we approach vaccine decisions:

  • Required Vaccines:

    Core vaccines protect against severe and widespread diseases. Every pet should receive these, regardless of lifestyle.

  • Lifestyle-Based Vaccines:

    Noncore vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s environment, routines, and potential exposures.

  • Puppies and Kittens:

    Young pets need boosters every few weeks during early development, completing their vaccination series around 16 weeks.

  • Adult Cats and Dogs:

    Adult pets require routine updates every 1 to 3 years depending on the vaccine.

  • Senior Pets:

    Senior pets may benefit from additional monitoring to maintain strong immunity.
