Puppy Shots FAQ
Why does my puppy need multiple vaccine visits?
Puppy vaccines are given in a series because maternal antibodies fade over time. Repeated visits help build protection during the risk window.
Are low-cost vaccine clinics safe?
They can be useful for preventive care, but they are not a replacement for sick-pet exams or urgent care.
