When to vaccinate
- Puppies and kittens: first round often around 6–8 weeks, then boosters every 3–4 weeks until about 16 weeks. Exact timing is set at the visit.
- Adult dogs and cats: boosters based on lifestyle, boarding, and risk — not a one-size schedule on this webpage.
- New patients: bring prior records; we review what’s due before giving anything.
How-to background (not this money page): puppy and kitten vaccine visits. Pair vaccines with a wellness checkup when you can.
Vaccines we offer
- Rabies — required by law for dogs and cats; protects against a deadly virus that can spread to people.
- Distemper — contagious virus; can cause respiratory and neurological problems.
- Parvovirus — serious gastrointestinal disease; often fatal in unprotected puppies.
- Bordetella (kennel cough) — contagious respiratory infection; required for boarding.
- Leptospirosis — bacterial disease that can also infect people.
- FVRCP for cats — required for feline boarding.
Which shots this pet needs is a veterinarian decision. We do not publish prices here — call (714) 536-7591 for an estimate.
Why vaccines matter for foot traffic (and your pet)
- Protection against serious, sometimes fatal diseases
- Helps limit spread to other pets in the home or boarding
- Often required before boarding and some travel
Sick or overdue?
If your pet is already sick (fever, vomiting, not eating, trouble breathing), call during open hours — see urgent care — before booking a routine vaccine visit. After hours, go to a 24-hour ER; we are not open overnight.
