Dog & Cat Vaccinations in Plantation, FL
Lifestyle-based vaccine plans — never one-size-fits-all — for dogs and cats across South Florida.
Pet Vaccinations
Vaccinations protect your pet from serious, often fatal, infectious diseases. At PAWS Veterinary Center, we tailor every vaccine schedule to your pet's age, lifestyle, travel plans, and risk profile — so your pet gets exactly the protection they need, and nothing they don't.
Core vaccines like rabies and DHPP (dogs) or FVRCP (cats) are recommended for every pet. Lifestyle vaccines — Bordetella, Canine Influenza, Leptospirosis, Lyme — are added when your pet boards, goes to grooming, hikes, or socializes with other dogs.
Puppies and kittens require a vaccine series spaced 3–4 weeks apart through ~16 weeks of age. Adult pets typically follow a 1- or 3-year booster schedule depending on the vaccine. We track every dose and send reminders so you never miss one.
Florida law requires rabies vaccination for all dogs, cats, and ferrets. We provide official rabies certificates and tags at every visit.
