Dogs should receive the DHPP vaccine at 7, 10, and 13 weeks, (then at 16 weeks if puppy lives outside with multiple dogs or in public) one year later after puppy series above, and then 1 to 3 years after that.

Oral Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines can typically be given to puppies as young as 6 to 8 weeks old. While often administered alongside initial puppy shots (DHPP), with 8–16 weeks being the most common timeframe.

The FVRCP vaccine is a essential "core" vaccine for cats, protecting against three highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FHV-1), Calicivirus (FCV), and Panleukopenia (FPL/distemper). It is recommended for all cats, regardless of whether they live indoors or outdoors. Vaccination typically starts at 6–8 weeks, with boosters in adulthood every three years. [1, 2, 3, 4]

 

Diseases Protected Against

  • Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FHV-1): A herpesvirus causing severe upper respiratory infections, responsible for 80-90% of such infections in cats.

  • Calicivirus (FCV): Affects the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity, often leading to mouth ulcers.

  • Panleukopenia (FPL): Also known as feline distemper, this virus is often fatal, especially in kittens, attacking the immune system and gastrointestinal tract.

​

Vaccination Schedule

  • Kittens: Start at 6–8 weeks old, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16–20 weeks of age.

  • Adults: A booster is required one year after the final kitten shot, and then every 3 years for life.
