New Kitten Visits
Kittens should be examined, vaccinated and dewormed. The following recommendations are advised by Granada Animal Hospital during your new kitten visits. This is the standard to maintain basic wellness as dictated by your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors and age.
Kittens must have 2 FVRCP vaccines over the age of 12 weeks to be protected. However, it is recommended that kittens be vaccinated earlier as it is unknown when the maternal antibodies will wear off in the kitten. Rabies cannot be given before 12 weeks of age; 12 weeks is preferred for rabies vaccination.
*If needed or not done prior to visit
Lifestyle and risk-based recommendations:
- Feline Leukemia Vaccine
