Dog & Cat Vaccinations in Englewood, OH
Keep your pets healthy - get them vaccinated
We understand pets are family. That's why we're dedicated to keeping your furry friend healthy. Just like humans, animals can be affected by infectious diseases, and vaccinations are vital to prevent serious diseases that can affect your pet and other animals in our community. Pets are able to live longer, healthier lives than ever before—in part because of vaccines. During your pet's exam, we'll discuss the specific risks in the Dayton area and create a personalized vaccination plan to keep them protected. We'll also be happy to explain the benefits of each vaccine and answer any questions you may have. Vaccinations we offer include: Dogs: Distemper, Parvo, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, Influenza, Rabies Cats: Rhinotracheitis, Calici, Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia, Rabies
If your pet is already here for vaccines, ask us about pet microchipping in Englewood — the chip goes in during the same appointment, with no anesthesia needed.
Puppy & kitten vaccine schedule
Young pets get their vaccines as a series, not all at once. As a general guide, the series starts at around 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until your puppy or kitten is about 16 weeks old. Rabies is usually given toward the end of that series. Every pet is different, so we'll set the exact timing at your first visit.
Core vs. lifestyle vaccines for dogs
Core vaccines are recommended for every dog: rabies and DHPP (distemper, hepatitis/adenovirus, parvovirus and parainfluenza). In Ohio, rabies vaccination for dogs is backed by state law and local health districts, so keeping your dog current matters.
Lifestyle vaccines depend on where your dog goes and what they do: Bordetella (kennel cough) for dogs that board, visit groomers or play with other dogs; leptospirosis for dogs that spend time outdoors around water or wildlife; and canine influenza for dogs in close contact with many other dogs.
Core vs. lifestyle vaccines for cats
Core vaccines for cats are rabies and FVRCP (feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia). Feline leukemia (FeLV) is recommended for kittens and for cats that go outdoors or live with other cats.
Adult boosters
After the puppy or kitten series, adult pets need boosters to stay protected — some every year, some every few years, depending on the vaccine. We'll review your pet's history at each wellness exam and only recommend what your pet actually needs.
