F.A.Q.
Puppies and kittens should receive three rounds of vaccines starting at 6-8 weeks, with each round about 3 weeks apart. Once the first rounds are completed, annual boosters are essential for continued protection against diseases.
Using heartworm preventative in Texas is extremely important because of the high risk of heartworm disease in the state. Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, and Texas—especially the Gulf Coast and humid regions—has mosquitoes year-round due to its warm climate. Because Texas rarely gets cold enough to kill off mosquito populations, year-round prevention is recommended by vets and the American Heartworm Society.
Taking your pet to the vet regularly is essential for keeping them healthy, catching issues early, and making sure they’re up-to-date on vaccinations and preventatives. For healthy, adult pets ages 1-7 years, an annual exam is recommended. Senior pets may need to be seen more often to monitor for arthritis, weight loss, or behavior changes.
The following symptoms should be evaluated as soon as possible by a veterinarian:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Limping or sudden lameness
- Straining to urinate/defecate
- Seizures or collapse
- Sudden behavior changes
