How old should my Puppy/Kitten be in order to be vaccinated?
All puppies and kittens need to be at least 6 – 8 weeks old.
What are the yearly vaccinations that my dog or cat needs?
Dogs need these vaccinations every year: Rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella.
Cats need these vaccinations every year: Rabies, FELV, FVRCP.
How many rounds of vaccinations does my puppy or kitten need?
We are a 4 round clinic. Once they are given their first round they need to come back in 2 – 4 weeks to get their other round of shots.
What if my puppy/kitten missed a round of vaccinations?
If it has been more than 4 weeks we recommend starting over. When a puppy or kitten is under a year their immune system is changing and growing every 4 weeks. So if a booster hasn’t been given within 4 weeks their chances of getting Distemper or Parvo increase dramatically.
Why don’t you accept feed store vaccinations?
We don’t accept feed store vaccinations because they are not regulated in transit and the active ingredient could be non effective due to poor storage and handling.
How old does my pet have to be in order to get spay/neutered?
All pets have to be at least 12 weeks in order to be spayed or neutered.
Can you do a spay if my pet is pregnant or in heat?
Yes, we can still do the surgery if the pet is pregnant or in heat. An extra fee may be applicable.
What are heartworms?
It is a parasite that dogs can get. This parasite is contracted through Mosquitoes. They inject a larva called a microfilaria. This Larva takes about 6 months to grow into a full grown heartworm. Heartworm causes irreversible heart damage and is the number one dog killer.
Can I prevent heartworms?
Yes, heartworm prevention can be given. We offer Proheart 6/12. It is a 6 or 12 month injection that gives a small dose of the medication everyday, so you do not have to worry about giving them a monthly pill. It is the safest on the market especially for puppies and pregnant dogs.
