• Without vaccines many pets may become ill due to serious viruses that they are unable to fight off on their own. 
• Cats and Dogs can begin their initial vaccines at 8 weeks of age. 
• Cats at 8 weeks of age are eligible for their FVRCP (Distemper) vaccine as well as FelV (Feline Leukemia) vaccine. which should be repeated every 3 to 4 weeks for 3 rounds of vaccinations. Rabies vaccine can be given at 12 weeks of age. 
• Dogs at 8 weeks of age are eligible for their DHPP vaccine which should be repeated every 3-4 weeks for 3 rounds of vaccinations, their rabies vaccine can also be given at 12 weeks of age. Bordetella (Kennel cough) vaccine is also recommended.

A current Veterinary-Client-Patient-Relationship is needed to prescribe any medications to your pets, which means our veterinarian must know your pet and have done an exam on them with current weight to properly prescribe any medications they may need, including tick and flea medication as well as dewormer.

• Felines can be spayed/neutered at 6 months of age. 
• Canine spays and neuters may vary by size; smaller dogs can be done at 6 months of age, or before the first heat of a female.
