Essential Protection for Every Pet
Why Vaccinations Matter for Your Pet's Health
Vaccines are your pet's first line of defense, preparing their immune system to fight serious diseases like Parvovirus, Distemper, Rabies, and Leptospirosis before exposure ever happens. Vaccines like Rabies and Leptospirosis also help protect your family and neighbors from zoonotic illnesses.
Our veterinarians build a proactive plan around your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors, with expertly tailored vaccine recommendations, early detection diagnostics, and comprehensive annual exams. By staying current with your pet's vaccines, you're investing in the health of your pet and your entire community.
Essential Protection for Dogs & Cats
Pet Vaccinations
Rabies
Required by Kansas law. Rabies protects both pets and humans from a fatal disease, and keeping it current is one of the most important things you can do for your dog and your community. Boostered every 1 to 3 years per state requirements.
DHPP
One vaccine covering Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza. These are highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases, and DHPP is recommended for every dog regardless of lifestyle.
Bordetella kennel cough
Protects against kennel cough, which spreads easily wherever dogs gather. Recommended for dogs who visit groomers, boarding facilities, daycare, or dog parks.
Leptospirosis
Guards against a bacterial infection spread through contaminated water and areas where wildlife pass through, which is common across the Kansas City metro. Leptospirosis poses risks to both pets and humans.
Canine Influenza & Lyme Disease lifestyle-based
Canine Influenza guards against highly contagious respiratory viruses and is recommended for social dogs who frequent boarding, parks, or grooming. Lyme Disease protects against a tick-transmitted bacterial infection that causes joint pain, recommended for dogs traveling to tick-heavy regions. Our veterinarians will help you decide if these fit your dog's lifestyle.
Rabies
Required by Kansas law for cats too. Rabies is a fatal neurological disease transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, and indoor cats are not exempt from the requirement or the risk.
FVRCP
Core protection for every cat against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia, highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases. Recommended whether your cat is indoor-only or ventures outside.
Feline Leukemia
Essential for cats with any outdoor access or contact with other cats. Protects against a viral disease spread through close contact between cats, including bites and grooming.
Vaccine Maintenance for Adult Pets
Regular boosters maintain your pet's immunity throughout their life, and we send the reminders so you don't have to track it.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Vaccines
How do Preventive Care Packages save me money?
Our Preventive Care Packages bundle different levels of essential services, including exams, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing, at a discounted cost compared to paying for each service individually. Packages for senior pets include complete bloodwork. It's a predictable way to keep your pet current on everything without financial surprises.
When should I bring my puppy or kitten for their first vet visit?
We recommend scheduling your puppy or kitten's first visit at 6 to 8 weeks of age, which is when their vaccine series typically begins. Bring any records from the breeder, shelter, or rescue so we can pick up exactly where they left off.
What vaccines does my puppy need and when?
Puppies typically start their vaccine series between 6 and 8 weeks with boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until around 16 weeks of age, covering DHPP and Rabies as required by Kansas law, plus lifestyle vaccines based on your puppy's risk. Our veterinarians will map out your puppy's exact schedule at the first visit.
What vaccines does my kitten need and when?
Kittens typically begin their FVRCP series around 6 to 8 weeks with boosters every 3 to 4 weeks, plus Rabies as required by Kansas law. Feline Leukemia is recommended based on whether your kitten will have outdoor access or contact with other cats. We'll tailor the plan at your kitten's first exam.
What should I do if my pet missed a vaccine booster?
Don't worry, just give us a call at (913) 768-6688. Depending on how much time has passed, your pet may simply need the booster or may need to restart part of the series. We'll review their records and get them back on track with the fewest visits possible.
