At Grand Park Animal Clinic in Katy, TX, our veterinarians emphasize the importance of vaccinations for dogs and puppies. Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, helping them live a longer and healthier life. Whether you are welcoming a new puppy or maintaining your adult dog’s health, our clinic provides comprehensive vaccination services tailored to your pet’s needs.

Core Vaccines for Dogs and Puppies

Core vaccines are essential for all dogs and puppies. These vaccines protect against widespread and highly contagious diseases. At our animal hospital, we recommend core vaccinations for:

•             Rabies: Required by law, this vaccine protects against a deadly disease that can affect both pets and humans.

•             Distemper: A highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.

•             Parvovirus: A severe and often fatal disease that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.

•             Adenovirus (Hepatitis): Protects against infectious canine hepatitis, which affects the liver.

Non-Core Vaccines

Depending on your dog’s lifestyle and environment, additional vaccines may be recommended. Non-core vaccines offered at Grand Park Animal Clinic include:

•             Bordetella: Helps prevent kennel cough, a common illness in dogs that spend time in boarding or grooming facilities.

•             Leptospirosis: Protects against a bacterial infection that can be transmitted through water or soil contaminated by infected animals.

•             Lyme Disease: Recommended for dogs in areas where ticks are prevalent.

Vaccination Schedules

Puppies require a series of vaccinations starting at 6 to 8 weeks of age, with boosters every few weeks until they are about 16 weeks old. Adult dogs need regular boosters to maintain immunity. Our veterinarian in Katy will develop a personalized vaccination schedule for your pet based on their age, breed, and lifestyle.
