Cat Vaccination

Depending on their age, prior vaccination history, and medical history, your pet will require different vaccinations each year. Following a specific puppy/kitten vaccination schedule based on their age is recommended if youre bringing home a new cat or cat. For adopted pets, its important to know which vaccinations they’ve already received and when so that you can schedule their upcoming shots accordingly. Your cats vaccination plan can be made with assistance from your Vetic veterinarian.

Vaccines for pets function in a similar way to vaccines for people. A dead or weakened version of an infectious disease is given to your pet as an immunization. The body of your pet then produces antibodies against the disease, aiding in the prevention of illness or greatly reducing the severity and length of illness if your pet is exposed.

All cats and cats must have rabies vaccinations according to the law. Bite wounds and deep scratches are the main ways that rabies, a deadly disease, is transmitted. Prevention is the only form of treatment. All cases of rabies end in death once symptoms start to appear.

Making a pet vaccination schedule for your cat or cats is something our veterinarian can assist with. This is particularly crucial if your pet is older or if you just adopted them from a shelter or rescue. Typically, between the ages of six and sixteen weeks, puppies and kittens need their first round of vaccinations. Then, every 12 months, they require booster shots. Older cats and cats require fewer initial vaccinations, but they still require annual boosters to maintain their immunity. The ideal vaccination schedule for your pets can be chosen with the assistance of our veterinarians.
