Vaccinations

There are several shots puppies and kittens require. Puppies need vaccinations for DHLP-P ("Distemper"), Corona, Rabies, Bordetella (Kennel Cough), and Lymes. Kittens need vaccinations for FVRCP-C ("Distemper"), FeLV (feline leukemia) and Rabies. As with children, several booster shots must be given so that the puppy or kitten can build up antibodies to the infections vaccinated for.
