Cat & Dog Vaccinations in Dyer, IN
Believe us when we say that cat and dog vaccinations are one of the most important parts of your pet’s preventative health care plan! Vaccines protect against very dangerous, highly contagious diseases that are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat. By offering pet vaccinations in Dyer for the Northwest Indiana community, we contribute to creating a herd immunity (or community immunity) where the spread of disease is stunted due to fewer pets being susceptible.

Vaccination Timeline
Your pet will begin with the appropriate vaccinations as a puppy or kitten. Their immunities need to be built up, so puppies and kitten receive a series of core vaccines, starting at about 6-8 weeks of age, running until they are about 16 weeks of age. After their initial series, they require boosters throughout their lives, usually annually, but sometimes every three years for some vaccines such as DHPP and FVRCP.
