Vaccination Protocol
At Clear Creek Animal Hospital, we recommend starting vaccinations for puppies and kittens at 6-8 weeks of age.
Kittens
At their first visit, kittens will get a full examination, their 1st FVRCP vaccination, a stool sample check for intestinal parasites, deworming if necessary, and get started on flea and heartworm preventative. This is also a good time to test all kittens for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. If the kitten will be outside, or will be exposed to an FIV or FeLV positive cat, they will receive their 1st FIV vaccination.
They will come back in 3-4 weeks for a booster examination, 2nd FVRCP vaccination, 1st FeLV vaccination and another stool sample check if the first one was positive. Outside or exposed cats will receive their 2nd FIV vaccination.
They will come back in 3-4 weeks for a booster examination, 3rd FVRCP vaccination, 2nd FeLV vaccination and their 1st Rabies vaccination. Outside or exposed cats will receive their 3rd FIV vaccination. Occasionally, the Rabies vaccination will be given at a separate appointment to reduce the chances of a vaccine reaction.
At 6 months of age they can be spayed or neutered and declawed.
All felines, will receive an examination, a Rabies vaccination, and a FVRCP booster annually. Outside or exposed cats will receive a booster of the FIV and FeLV vaccinations.
For felines over the age of 12, we recommend an annual examination and blood work instead of vaccinations.
Puppies
At their 1st visit, puppies will get a full examination, their 1st DHPP vaccination, a stool sample check for intestinal parasites, deworming if necessary, and get started on flea and heartworm preventative.
They will the come back in 3-4 weeks for a booster examination, their 2nd DHPP vaccination, and check another stool sample if the first was positive. At this time they may also receive a Lepto vaccination. If the puppy will be boarded or groomed, they will receive a Bordatella vaccination.
They will come back in 3-4 weeks for their 3rd DHPP vaccination and their 1st Rabies Vaccination. At this time they may receive a Lepto vaccination if it was not given at the last visit. Occasionally, the Rabies vaccine will be given at a separate appointment to reduce the chances of a vaccine reaction.
After their 3rd DHPP vaccination, we recommend getting a booster examination and a Parvo Virus vaccination every 3 months until they are 1 year old.
At 6 months of age they can be spayed or neutered.
All canines will receive an examination, a 2nd Rabies vaccination, and a DHPP vaccination booster one year after their 1st Rabies and 3rd DHPP vaccinations were given, regardless of their age. At this time they will also be old enough for a heartworm test and another stool sample check. A Bordatella vaccination will be given only if the animal boards or goes to the groomer frequently.
After their 2nd Rabies vaccination, animals with low exposure may choose to vaccinate against Rabies every 3 years. However, we still recommend an annual examination along with the DHPP booster, an annual heartworm test and stool sample check. A Bordatella vaccination should be given annually only if the dog boards or goes to the groomer frequently.
For canines over the age of 7-10 we recommend an annual examination and blood work instead of vaccinations.
