Vaccinations for Dogs and Cats
Affordable. Preventive. Lifesaving.
PETS Clinic is a nonprofit veterinary clinic offering affordable vaccinations for dogs and cats. Vaccines protect pets from highly contagious and deadly diseases, improve quality of life, and, in some cases, protect people from zoonotic illnesses (diseases transmitted from animals to humans).
Vaccines are a wellness service and can be provided with any ‘wellness’ or ‘preventative’ appointment or walk-in.

Why Vaccinate Your Pet?
Experts, including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), agree that widespread vaccination has prevented death and disease in millions of animals over the past century.
Top Five Reasons to Vaccinate:
Prevents many dangerous and often fatal illnesses.
Saves money by avoiding costly treatments for preventable diseases.
Reduces the risk of diseases that can spread to people and other animals.
Protects against wildlife-borne diseases like rabies and distemper.
Complies with local and state laws for required vaccinations.
General Vaccination Guidelines
Puppies and Kittens:
Begin vaccinations at 6–8 weeks of age.
Give boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks old (minimum of 3 boosters recommended).
Deworm every 2 weeks until starting heartworm preventative (see deworming page).
Kennel Cough (Bordetella):
Give 3–7 days before boarding (requirements vary by facility).
Protection lasts 6 months.
First-time vaccine requires a booster 2 weeks later.
Feline Leukemia:
Vaccine does not treat leukemia—test your cat before vaccination.
Outdoor cats: vaccinate yearly.
Indoor-only cats: booster every 2–3 years.
Rabies:
Required by law for pets over 12 weeks old.
If given twice in one year, valid for 3 years. Otherwise, expires yearly.
Annual Boosters:
Recommended until a veterinarian advises otherwise due to age or health.
Never Vaccinate Sick Animals:
Vaccines do not treat existing illness and can weaken the immune system if given to sick pets.
