Pet Vaccinations in Davie, FL
At Aycock Veterinary Clinic, we believe prevention is the first step toward a long, healthy life for your pet. That’s why pet vaccinations are a key part of every wellness plan we create.
Why Pet Vaccinations Matter
Vaccines protect your dog or cat from contagious, potentially life-threatening diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia. Many of these illnesses have no cure but are entirely preventable with timely shots.
Vaccines don’t just protect your pet — they protect your family and your community. Some diseases, like rabies, can spread to humans and are required by law in Florida. Keeping your pet up to date on vaccinations helps stop the spread of dangerous viruses and bacteria.
Core benefits of pet vaccinations include:
- Preventing deadly and debilitating illnesses
- Reducing the risk of disease outbreaks in the community
- Avoiding costly emergency treatments
- Supporting a longer, healthier life
Our Vaccination Services
Our experienced team offers personalized vaccine schedules based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk level. Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior companion, we make sure they receive the protection they need.
Puppy & Kitten Shots
The first few months of life are critical for building immunity. We typically begin vaccinations at 6–8 weeks of age and continue in a series of boosters every 3–4 weeks until your pet is around 16 weeks old.
Puppy vaccines may include:
- Rabies
- Distemper
- Parvovirus
- Adenovirus
- Bordetella (kennel cough)
Kitten vaccines may include:
- Rabies
- Feline herpesvirus
- Calicivirus
- Panleukopenia
- Feline leukemia (FeLV, based on lifestyle)
Adult Pet Vaccinations
After the initial series, your pet will need routine boosters to maintain immunity. We assess your pet’s needs at every wellness checkup, considering factors like age, lifestyle, travel, and environment.
Additional lifestyle-based vaccines may include:
- Leptospirosis
- Lyme disease
- Canine influenza
- Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)
