When should I start puppy/kitten vaccinations and which ones are needed?
Vaccinations start at 6-8 weeks and are boostered every 3-4 weeks until the Rabies vaccination is given at 12-16 weeks. Puppies need Distemper/Parvovirus (DA2PP) as well as Leptospirosis and Rabies vaccinations. Bordetella (Kennel Cough) is needed if your pet will be boarding, going to the groomer, or otherwise be associated with unknown dogs. Cats need Feline Distemper (FVRCP) and Rabies vaccinations. If he/she goes outside then he/she should also be vaccinated against Feline Leukemia.
