FAQ's

When should I vaccinate my pet?

Vaccinations are a key part of disease prevention in pets and people.

We recommend starting your puppy/kitten vaccines at 8 weeks old. Follow a booster series and then repeat boosters anually and tri-annually

When Should I Get My Pet Spayed/Neutered?

We generally recommend having your pets fixed at approximately 5-6 months old (before first heat cycle for females). Some research shows that giant breeds should be done 18-24 months of age to allow appropriate joint development.
