Vaccination Schedule for Puppies and Adult Dogs
After a physical examination and review of your dog's unique medical history, our doctors will make vaccination recommendations in accordance with guidelines from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and other professional organizations as applicable. In order to optimize your dog's immune response and provide them with the best protection possible, close attention will also be paid to the spacing of their vaccination visits.
Vaccination Schedule for Kittens and Adult Cats
Following a physical exam and a thorough review of your cat’s individual medical history, our veterinarians will recommend vaccinations based on guidelines from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the Feline Veterinary Medical Association (FelineVMA), and other relevant professional bodies. To ensure your cat develops the strongest possible immunity, we’ll also carefully plan the timing of each vaccination visit.
Balancing Safety and Effectiveness when Vaccinating Your Pets
Vaccination visits are typically spaced 2-6 weeks apart to avoid overloading your pet’s immune system. Our veterinarians might adjust the schedule based on your companion’s specific needs. For any series of shots, we need to make sure that no more than 6 weeks elapse between vaccine doses. If this interval is exceeded, we will need to restart your pet’s vaccination series.
In cases of potential rabies exposure, such as an encounter with a wild animal, a booster rabies shot may be necessary within 72 hours of exposure.
Ann Arbor Animal Hospital is dedicated to providing personalized care to ensure the health and wellness of your pet through a comprehensive vaccination strategy. Our experienced veterinarians are here to guide you through the process and help keep your beloved pet protected throughout their life.
