Pet Vaccinations in Arlington, TX
Vaccines are a critical component of preventive care for pets of all ages. At Sanford Oaks Animal Clinic in Arlington, TX, we provide individualized vaccination plans designed to protect dogs and cats from serious, contagious diseases. Whether your pet is a new puppy or a senior dog, staying current with vaccinations supports long-term health and helps reduce the spread of illnesses within the community.
Why Vaccines Matter for Dogs and Puppies
Puppy vaccinations are essential for building immunity during the earliest stages of life. Without protection, young animals are more vulnerable to diseases that can spread quickly and lead to severe illness or death. As your dog ages, booster vaccines are required to maintain immunity.
Our dog vaccine clinic provides both core and non-core vaccines based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Core vaccines are recommended for all dogs, while non-core vaccines are given based on individual exposure risks.
Core Dog Vaccinations:
- Rabies
- Canine distemper
- Canine parvovirus
- Canine adenovirus (hepatitis)
Non-Core Dog Vaccinations (administered based on risk):
- Bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough)
- Leptospira bacteria (leptospirosis)
- Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease)
- Canine influenza
Each dog vaccination visit includes a physical exam and a discussion about lifestyle factors such as travel, boarding, grooming, and social interaction, which help determine the best vaccination strategy.
Puppy Vaccinations: A Critical Start
Puppy vaccinations begin as early as six to eight weeks of age and are administered in a series over the first few months. These early immunizations help establish protection during the critical development period.
Our team builds a custom vaccination schedule to ensure your puppy receives timely protection. Missing scheduled boosters can reduce vaccine effectiveness, so maintaining the full series is important for long-term health.
Typical Puppy Vaccination Schedule May Include:
- 6–8 weeks: First combination vaccine
- 10–12 weeks: Second combination vaccine
- 14–16 weeks: Final combination vaccine + rabies
- Annual boosters thereafter
Vaccination Services for Cats
Our vaccination services also include complete protection plans for cats. Like dogs, cats benefit from a combination of core and non-core vaccines based on lifestyle, indoor vs. outdoor activity, and health status.
Core Cat Vaccinations:
- Rabies
- Feline panleukopenia (distemper)
- Feline calicivirus
- Feline herpesvirus type I (rhinotracheitis)
Non-Core Cat Vaccinations:
- Feline leukemia virus (FeLV)
- Bordetella
- Chlamydophila felis
- Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)
Cats with outdoor access, exposure to other cats, or underlying health concerns may require additional vaccines.
When to Visit Our Clinic
Vaccinations are typically administered during your pet’s annual wellness exam. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and those with specific health risks may need more frequent evaluations.
You should schedule a vaccination appointment if:
- Your pet is due for annual immunizations
- You recently adopted a puppy or kitten
- You plan to board your pet or use daycare services
