Why vaccinate?  A proper vaccination series is necessary for the health and protection of your pet. Newborn puppies and kittens obtain antibodies from their mother. Over the course of the first few months of their life these maternal antibodies fade and leave the pet susceptible to disease. This is why we must give vaccinations to ensure protection from disease.

We must give puppies and kittens a series of vaccines (boosters) to ensure their immune systems are stimulated as their maternal immunity is wearing off. With each booster vaccination their immune system becomes stronger to fight off disease. One or two vaccines alone should not be relied upon to be protective. Often times pets may develop disease when the pet receives an incomplete vaccine series. Because adult animals' immunity can wane with time, adult boosters are needed to ensure protective immunity.

A current certified Rabies vaccination is required for the licensing of your dog or cat with the City of Las Vegas.  All other vaccinations are strongly recommended for the well-being of your pet and usually required by pet-care facilities before any services are rendered.
