Vaccinations for Cats and Dogs: The Complete Guide

Vaccines protect your pet from serious and sometimes fatal diseases. Which ones they need depends on species, age, lifestyle and travel plans.

Puppies and kittens

Young animals usually start a primary course at around six to eight weeks, with boosters every few weeks until about sixteen weeks. Your vet will set a schedule.

Adults

Adult pets need boosters at intervals set by the vaccine and your vet. Rabies is often required by law and for travel.

Keeping records

Keep every certificate. Digital reminders from your clinic help make sure you never miss a booster.
