At what age does my puppy or kitten need its first vaccinations?
Six weeks of age (then every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age). This allows for the pet’s immune system to start producing its own antibodies while antibodies from mom start to wane. They must be at least 12 wks of age to receive the Rabies vaccine. Any vaccine administered prior to 6 weeks of age will likely not provide adequate immunity.
