When Should Your Pet Be Vaccinated?
For optimal protection, pets should begin their vaccinations at 6 to 8 weeks of age. They will receive a series of booster shots every 3 to 4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old. After this initial series, booster vaccines are administered either annually or every three years, depending on the specific vaccine and your pet’s lifestyle.
Keeping up with boosters is crucial—missing a dose may leave your pet vulnerable to disease. Our team will help you establish and maintain a vaccination schedule tailored to your pet’s needs.

Microchipping: A Lifesaving Identification Method
Every year, thousands of pets go missing, and unfortunately, not all are reunited with their families. While collars and ID tags can be helpful, they can also fall off or become unreadable. A microchip provides permanent identification that greatly increases the chances of your pet being returned to you if they ever get lost.
How Does Microchipping Work?
A pet microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—that is implanted just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This quick, virtually painless procedure can be done during a wellness exam, vaccination visit, or even a surgical procedure.
Each microchip contains a unique identification number that, when scanned, links to your contact information in a national pet recovery database. Unlike GPS devices, microchips do not track location, but they serve as a lifelong form of identification that cannot be lost or removed.
Your pet depends on you to keep them safe. By staying up to date on vaccinations and ensuring they have proper identification through microchipping, you are giving them the best protection possible. Contact us today to schedule your pet’s vaccination or microchipping appointment!
