Cat Vaccinations in Stone Mountain, GA

Dog & Cat Vaccinations and When To Administer Them

Building immunity starts with a series of vaccines for puppies and kittens. After that, they’ll need boosters to maintain their resistance. Pet vaccinations are either “core” (highly recommended for all pets) or “noncore” (recommended for pets at risk). We follow AAHA and AAFP guidelines to avoid any chance of over-vaccination. Review the list below to learn more about what vaccines your pet may need and when we administer them.
