Vaccination Care
Healthy Pets Through Prevention

The single most effective way to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. Timely vaccination saves lives - every single time.
Vaccines train your pet's immune system to recognise and fight dangerous viruses and bacteria before they cause illness. Without vaccination, your pet is vulnerable to diseases that are preventable, often untreatable, and frequently fatal.
At SPCU, we follow internationally recognised vaccination protocols tailored to Indian conditions. Every vaccination is administered by our experienced veterinarians after a thorough health check to ensure your pet is fit to receive the vaccine.
We maintain digital vaccination records for every patient, send timely reminders for boosters, and provide vaccination certificates recognised nationwide.
A recommended vaccination timeline for puppies and adult dogs. Your veterinarian may adjust based on your dog's health, breed, and lifestyle.
| Puppy's Age | Core Vaccines | Protects Against |
|---|---|---|
| 6 - 8 Weeks | DHPPi (1st Dose) | Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza |
| 9 - 11 Weeks | DHPPi (2nd Dose) + Lepto | Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis |
| 12 - 14 Weeks | DHPPi (3rd Dose) + Anti-Rabies | Core diseases + Rabies Virus |
| Annually | DHPPi + Lepto + Anti-Rabies Booster | Complete Annual Protection |
Kittens and adult cats need a tailored vaccination plan. Indoor cats require fewer vaccines, but core protection is essential for all.
| Kitten's Age | Core Vaccines | Protects Against |
|---|---|---|
| 6 - 8 Weeks | FVRCP (1st Dose) | Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia |
| 10 - 12 Weeks | FVRCP (2nd Dose) + FeLV | Core diseases + Feline Leukemia (if at risk) |
| 14 - 16 Weeks | FVRCP (3rd Dose) + Anti-Rabies | Core diseases + Rabies Virus |
| Annually | FVRCP + Anti-Rabies Booster | Complete Annual Protection |
Core vaccines protect against diseases that are widespread, highly contagious, and often fatal. Every dog and cat should receive these regardless of lifestyle. They include Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus (dogs), and FVRCP (cats).
Non-core vaccines are recommended based on your pet's risk exposure - outdoor access, boarding, geographic location, and health status. Examples include Kennel Cough, FeLV, and Canine Corona. Your vet will advise which are appropriate.
Intestinal parasites are extremely common in Indian pets. Regular deworming is essential - not just for your pet's health, but for your family's safety too, as some worms are zoonotic.
Every 2 weeks from 2-12 weeks of age, then monthly until 6 months.
Every 3 months (quarterly) throughout life. More frequent if outdoor exposure or raw-diet fed.
Special deworming protocol under veterinary guidance. Essential to prevent transmission to newborns.
💡 Pro tip: Deworming should be done 10-14 days before vaccination for maximum vaccine efficacy. We always check this at your appointment.
Clear answers to the most common questions pet parents have about vaccines, safety, and schedules.
A: Yes. The immunity provided by vaccines naturally fades over time. Annual boosters "wake up" your pet's immune system to ensure they maintain continuous, life-saving protection against prevalent diseases.
A: It is completely normal for pets to experience mild lethargy, a slight decrease in appetite, or mild tenderness at the injection site for 24-48 hours. Severe reactions are incredibly rare.
A: Yes! Airborne viruses can enter through open windows, and you can accidentally track viruses into the house on your shoes or clothing. The Rabies vaccine is also legally required in many areas regardless of lifestyle.
A: Timing is critical for puppy vaccines. If too much time has passed between the first and second dose, the initial immunity drops, and we may need to restart the primary series. Please call us immediately to adjust the schedule.
Whether it's your puppy's first vaccine or your senior cat's annual booster - we make vaccination simple, stress-free, and thorough.
