When Should You Vaccinate Your Pets

Is there anything more adorable and more lovable than a brand-new baby kitten or puppy? The instant we see those little bundles of clumsy, awkward, squeaky, furballs bounding and stumbling around and all over their siblings, they also stumble all over and steal our hearts. It's okay, there aren't many who are immune to the lure and charm of baby furballs.

It is that love for these tiny and adorable creatures that drives us to want to ensure that they stay safe, healthy, and happy. If you are looking for an animal hospital or vet near you for veterinary care, like vaccinations, in the Durham, NC, area, our pet-loving and professional veterinary team at the Alexander At The Park Veterinary Hospital.

When to Vaccinate Your Pets

Being a pet owner is an important job, and those cute little puppies and kittens rely on their owners for their care and well-being, including vaccinations. The good news for pet owners is that most local vets can help pet owners with all their vaccination needs, schedules, and care.

For puppies and kittens, those first shots will typically begin around 8 weeks old, with booster shots and a regular booster schedule that follows. Often, indoor cats may only need those initial shots, although your veterinarian will discuss any potential risks or the benefits of additional vaccinations and booster shots.

Most important, though, for all pet owners, is the need to get their pets vaccinated. From helping to ensure your pets can grow up and live happy and healthy lives to preventing disease and sickness, vaccinations are merely another way we love our pets.
