Pet Vaccinations in Eugene, OR
Protecting Your Pet’s Health with Preventative Care
At The Veterinary Hospital in Eugene, OR, we believe prevention is the foundation of lifelong health. Pet vaccinations are a safe, effective way to protect your dog or cat from serious—and often life-threatening—diseases. From puppy and kitten vaccines to adult boosters, our experienced veterinary team will create a customized vaccination plan tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and individual risk factors.
Whether you’re starting your pet’s first round of shots or need to update their immunizations, we’re here to provide trusted, expert care in a calm and welcoming environment.
Why Vaccines Matter
Vaccines help your pet’s immune system build protection against harmful viruses and bacteria. By preparing their body to recognize and fight off disease, vaccinations can prevent conditions like rabies, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and more.
Some vaccines, such as rabies, are legally required, while others may be recommended based on your pet’s daily routine (such as boarding, grooming, or time spent outdoors). Our veterinary team will help you determine which vaccines are essential for your pet’s health and lifestyle.
Puppy and Kitten Vaccination Schedule
Young pets are especially vulnerable to illness. That’s why we begin vaccinations at 6 to 8 weeks of age, followed by a series of boosters to ensure strong, lasting protection.
Puppy Vaccines Include
- Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus (DHP)
- Rabies
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
- Canine Influenza (based on lifestyle)
- Lepto
Kitten Vaccines Include:
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP)
- Rabies
- Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) for high-risk kittens
Our team provides a calm, gentle experience to help young pets feel comfortable during their visits. We’ll also guide you on what to expect after each vaccine and how to manage any mild side effects.
Vaccinations for Adult Pets
Adult dogs and cats need periodic boosters to maintain protection. The timing and type of vaccine depend on your pet’s age, prior vaccination history, and lifestyle. Some vaccines are administered annually, while others are effective for up to three years.
During your pet’s routine wellness exam, we’ll review their records and recommend the appropriate schedule for core and non-core vaccines.
Common Adult Pet Vaccines:
- Rabies (required by law in Oregon)
- DHP or FVRCP booster
- Leptospirosis
- Bordetella
- FELV for all cats.
What to Expect After Vaccination
Mild side effects are rare but normal. Your pet may be slightly sore at the injection site or experience fatigue for a day or two. Serious reactions are uncommon, and our team is here to answer any concerns before or after your pet’s appointment.
