It is important to note that our doctors don’t follow a “one size fits all’ protocol for immunizations, but rather treat each patient as an individual and recommend the best possible protocols for that particular cat by looking at their risk factors such as age, overall health and lifestyle. The Premier Veterinary Care veterinary staff is dedicated to educating clients about the importance of cat vaccinations, including what cat vaccines are necessary, and when they should be scheduled. Cat vaccines are medically and scientifically proven to combat the incubation and transmission of crippling and fatal feline diseases. The importance of vaccinations to the overall health and longevity of your cat cannot be understated. Consult with the veterinarian at your next appointment. **Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age.
