When should I vaccinate my puppy or kitten?

Your puppy should be vaccinated as follows:

  • 6 - 8 weeks: first vaccination
  • 10 - 12 weeks: second vaccination
  • 14 - 16 weeks: third vaccination

Your kitten should be vaccinated as follows:

  • 6 - 10 weeks: first vaccination
  • 12 - 14 weeks: second vaccination
  • 16 - 18 weeks: third vaccination

Why does my puppy or kitten need a vaccination?

Pet vaccines safeguard your beloved friend against various infectious diseases that pose a risk to both animals and humans. They contain substances resembling the disease-causing micro-organism. Once administered, the immune system mounts a response, attacking the foreign substance and forming a memory of it. This memory prepares the body to combat the same disease should it encounter it in the future. Your pet's body typically takes approximately seven days to respond and develop immunity after vaccination.

It is always recommended not to expose your new puppy or kitten to other pets until they've had all their vaccinations.

What vaccines will my puppy or kitten receive?

There are two types of vaccines that the vet may administer:

  • Core vaccines - those which every pet must receive, no matter their age, environment, habits, breed, or circumstance. Core vaccines help prevent animals from contracting life-threatening diseases that have a global distribution.
  • Non-core vaccines - those required based on the context in which the animal lives. These include geographic location, environment, and lifestyle.

Our at-home vet will know what vaccine to administer to your pet based on its age, circumstances and previous vaccine history.

Puppy vaccination

The most likely scenario is that the vet will provide your puppy the C5 vaccine, which contains the 3 core vaccines (against the highly contagious and potentially life-threatening canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus, and canine parvovirus) as well 2 non-core vaccines (against kennel cough and canine parainfluenza virus).

Kitten vaccination

The most likely scenario is that the vet will provide your kitten the F3 vaccine, which contains the 3 core vaccines (against the highly contagious and potentially life-threatening feline herpes virus, feline calicivirus and feline panleukopaenia).

Convenience without stress

Say goodbye to nervous car rides, waiting rooms and sad faces. Instead, you and your pet get a vet visit in the comfort of your own home.

You'll love the convenience. Just book and get ready for your appointment. No driving, no traffic, no trying to get your beloved pet into the car, and no clinic. Pets are always more relaxed in their own environment, away from the sights, smells and memories that cause anxiety.

Using one of our at-home vets is the best option for you and your pet.

What to expect

Puppy or kitten health check

During the at-home visit, the vet will perform a thorough physical examination of your pet to assess their overall health. Here are some of the things that may happen during an at-home vet visit:

  • The vet will start by asking you questions about your pet's current condition, medical history, and general behaviour.
  • They will then perform a thorough physical examination of your pet which may include checking temperature, pulse, and respiration rate, listening to their heart and lungs, and examining their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. If they find any issues, they might collect a blood or urine sample for analysis at the lab.
  • Once the vet has gathered all the necessary information, they will provide you feedback about your pet.
  • For cases which require in-clinic procedures such as x-rays, ultrasounds and surgery, Pawssum partners with local vet clinics to ensure continuity of care for your pet.

Our vaccination procedures are quick, efficient, and designed to minimise any discomfort your pet may experience.

After administering the vaccine, we will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure your pet's well-being. These instructions will guide you on what to expect following the vaccination, including common reactions or side effects that are typically mild and temporary. We are committed to providing comprehensive care and will be available to address any post-vaccination concerns or queries you may have.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Ideally, you should book your puppy or kitten’s first vet appointment as soon as possible—once they are settled in, eating normally and acclimated to their new home. This enables early health checks, vaccination planning and preventive care.

Our service includes a full health examination, vaccination schedule, microchipping advice, parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, worms), dietary and growth guidance, and behaviour/socialisation support, all delivered in the comfort of your home.

Typically, new puppies and kittens need vet check-ups every 8-12 weeks during their first year (for vaccinations, growth monitoring and preventative treatments). After that, annual wellness visits are recommended.

The timing depends on breed and growth rate. Small breeds may move to adult food around 10-12 months, while large/giant breeds might stay on growth/puppy food until 15-18 months. Your vet will assess growth and advise the best transition.

We guide you on early socialisation, safe introductions to new people, pets and environments, crate and toilet training basics, and behaviour that often shows in young pets (biting, jumping, tearing).

Yes. Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to fleas, ticks and internal parasites like worms. Our service includes initiating a parasite prevention plan and providing education for ongoing control.

If you notice signs of illness (e.g., lethargy, vomiting/diarrhoea, abnormal behaviour, poor appetite) you can book a home visit or use our mobile vet services. Early intervention helps ensure best outcomes.
