Pet Vaccination in Littleton, CO
Vaccinations are a vital part of preventive care for both dogs and cats. At SouthPark Animal Clinic in Littleton, CO, we offer tailored vaccine plans to help protect pets from a wide range of contagious and potentially serious diseases. Whether your pet is receiving core vaccines or non-core boosters, our veterinary team ensures they get the care that fits their individual needs.
Dog Vaccinations at Our Dog Vaccine Clinic
Vaccines help dogs build immunity against diseases that can cause long-term health problems or become life-threatening. At our dog vaccine clinic, we provide vaccine protocols based on your dog’s age, health, and environment. From puppy vaccinations to adult boosters, our team ensures your dog stays protected at every stage.
Core Dog Vaccines Often Include:
- Rabies
- Distemper
- Parvovirus
- Adenovirus (Hepatitis)
- Parainfluenza
Non-Core Dog Vaccines May Include:
- Bordetella (kennel cough)
- Leptospirosis
- Lyme disease
- Canine influenza
Puppy Vaccinations: A Foundation for Lifelong Health
Puppy vaccinations typically begin at 6 to 8 weeks of age and are given every 3 to 4 weeks until 16 weeks of age. These early vaccines help protect young dogs during the time when maternal immunity decreases. Our team will design a personalized schedule to ensure proper protection without over-vaccinating.
Once the initial series is complete, we’ll discuss the timeline for routine boosters and wellness exams.
Cat Vaccinations: Customized Protection for Indoor and Outdoor Cats
Cats also benefit from vaccines that protect against viral and bacterial infections. Whether your cat lives indoors or spends time outdoors, our veterinarians will help determine which vaccines are necessary based on lifestyle and exposure risk.
Core Cat Vaccines Often Include:
- Rabies
- Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1)
- Calicivirus
- Panleukopenia (feline distemper)
Non-Core Cat Vaccines May Include:
- Feline leukemia virus (FeLV)
- Bordetella
- Chlamydia felis
Kittens typically start their vaccine series between 6 and 8 weeks of age, with boosters given at intervals until about 16 weeks. Regular adult boosters are recommended as part of ongoing preventive care.
Why Pet Vaccinations Matter
Vaccinations help reduce the risk of serious illnesses and also support community-wide disease prevention. For pets who visit boarding facilities, groomers, or travel, many vaccines are required by law or facility policy.
Routine Vaccinations Help:
- Prevent highly contagious diseases
- Reduce long-term veterinary care costs
- Support safe socialization and travel
- Meet local and facility health requirements
- Detect other concerns during routine visits
When to Book a Vaccine Appointment
Your pet’s vaccination schedule will depend on their age, lifestyle, and medical history. In general:
- Puppies and kittens should begin vaccines around 6–8 weeks of age
- Adult pets need boosters on a regular schedule (annual or triennial, depending on vaccine type)
- Senior pets may require modified vaccine plans based on health needs
At SouthPark Animal Clinic, vaccine visits may be part of a wellness exam or scheduled as a focused service. We also maintain thorough vaccine records for travel, boarding, or daycare requirements.
