💉 Why Are Pet Vaccines Important?

Just like humans, pets need vaccines to prevent serious and contagious illnesses. Without protection, they’re vulnerable to dangerous viruses — some of which can be fatal or spread to humans.

Vaccines help:

• Prevent diseases like rabies, parvo, and distemper
• Protect puppies and kittens during early development
• Enable travel across borders (U.S./Mexico entry)
• Reduce emergency vet costs from avoidable illnesses

📋 Core Vaccines for Dogs & Cats

🐶 Dogs:

• Rabies (required by law)
• DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
• Leptospirosis (especially in tropical areas)

🐱 Cats:

• Rabies
• FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)
• Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV – especially for outdoor cats)

🧭 When Should You Vaccinate Your Pet?

• First shots: Start as early as 6–8 weeks old
• Booster shots: Every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks old
• Adult boosters: Annually or every 3 years (depends on vaccine)

VetPlayas keeps your pet on schedule and reminds you when boosters are due — no guesswork!

🌎 Cross-Border Travel? Vaccines Are Mandatory

If you plan to travel with your dog or cat to or from the United States, rabies vaccination and a current health certificate are required. VetPlayas is experienced in border documentation and export travel paperwork.
