Why Timely Vaccinations Are Essential for Puppies and Kittens
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is exciting—but it also comes with important responsibilities. One of the first things you should do is make sure your new pet receives their core vaccinations on time. At AM PM Low Cost Spay Neuter & Vaccine Clinic, we help you protect your young pet with simple, affordable vaccine packages.
Puppies and kittens are especially susceptible to viruses and bacteria. Their immune systems are still developing, and without proper vaccines, they are at high risk for serious illnesses like parvovirus, distemper, and upper respiratory infections.
That’s why veterinarians follow a specific vaccine schedule for young pets. Puppies and kittens typically receive their first set of vaccinations around 6 to 8 weeks of age, with booster shots given every 3 to 4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old.
Some of the core vaccines for puppies include:
- Distemper/parvo combo (DHPP)
- Rabies
- Bordetella (depending on lifestyle)
For kittens, we typically recommend:
- FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia)
- Rabies
- Feline leukemia (FeLV) if your kitten goes outdoors or is at risk
At AM PM, we make this process easy and affordable. Our team administers vaccines safely, gently, and quickly—keeping the visit as stress-free as possible. We also track your pet’s vaccine records and help you stay on schedule with reminders and clear guidance.
Vaccines don’t just protect your pet—they protect your household and community by preventing the spread of contagious diseases. Keeping your puppy or kitten up to date is one of the best ways to set them up for a lifetime of good health.
