Vaccination Clinic

If you are unable to make it to our Saturday vaccine clinic, and you feel your pet does not need a physical examination with the doctor, we can usually schedule a "vaccine only" appointment during the week too. If you prefer this option, please phone our hospital to schedule a time.

There are various recommendations (protocols) for vaccinations in dogs and cats.  As puppies and kittens, we recommend the first vaccines at 6 – 8 weeks old.  These are followed by a series of boosters until your pet is 16 weeks or older.  For adults, we tailor your pet’s vaccines based on their exposure risks, and your concerns and preferences.
