Vaccinations

About this service

Fewer guesses, the right protection

Every dog and cat needs a short list of core vaccines. Beyond that, the right plan depends on your pet. A dog who goes to daycare, hikes the Boise foothills or boards over the holidays has different exposure than a cat who never leaves the living room, so we ask before we recommend.

Each vaccine visit starts with a brief exam so we are not vaccinating a pet who is already unwell. We space shots where it makes sense, note any past reactions in the chart, and send records you can hand straight to a groomer, boarding kennel or trainer.

Puppy and kitten series

Young pets get a series of boosters a few weeks apart, because the protection they got from their mother fades on its own timeline. We map out the full series at the first visit so you can plan around it.

Adult boosters

Some vaccines last one year and some last three. Your reminder texts will only arrive when something is actually due, and we will tell you which ones are required by local rules and which ones are optional for your pet.

What a lifestyle conversation covers

We ask about daycare and boarding, hikes and lakes, other pets at home, travel plans and whether your cat ever goes outside. Those answers decide which optional vaccines make sense. A dog who spends weekends in the Owyhee backcountry gets a different plan from a lap dog in a downtown apartment.

Spacing and comfort

Small or anxious pets may get vaccines spread across two short visits instead of one long one. We use fine needles, give treats during and after, and note any past reaction in the chart so the next visit is planned around it.

Records and reminders

Your vaccine record lives in your pet’s chart and arrives in your inbox after each visit. A text goes out a few weeks before anything is due, with a link to book. If you move away, we send the full history to your new clinic.
