Frequently Asked Questions

In Fontana, puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations to protect them from common and potentially fatal diseases. For puppies, core vaccines include Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, and Adenovirus. Kittens should receive Rabies and FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia). Non-core vaccines may be recommended based on lifestyle and exposure risks. Consult with your veterinarian to develop a personalized vaccination schedule.
Dental care is crucial for your pet’s overall health. It’s recommended to begin dental cleanings for dogs around the age of 1 to 2 years, depending on their breed and dental health. Regular dental check-ups can help prevent periodontal disease, which can lead to more serious health issues. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate dental care plan for your dog.
Starting dental hygiene early is essential for your pet’s health. Begin brushing your pet’s teeth as soon as they have their adult teeth, typically around 6 months of age. Use pet-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste. Regular brushing helps prevent plaque buildup and dental diseases. Your veterinarian can provide guidance on proper brushing techniques and recommend suitable dental products.
Puppies and kittens should receive their first vaccinations at approximately 6 to 8 weeks of age. This initial round typically includes core vaccines to protect against serious diseases. Subsequent booster shots are administered every 3 to 4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old. It’s important to follow the vaccination schedule recommended by your veterinarian to ensure your pet’s health and safety.
