Rabies: All dogs over four months of age residing in Humboldt County are required to have a current rabies vaccination for their own protection as well as protection for our community. Dogs with current rabies vaccinations are eligible for a dog license, the purchase of which is required by law in all jurisdictions in Humboldt County. Fist vaccine lasts for 1 year, then 3 years thereafter.

FVRCP: This vaccine protects against the most common causes of feline upper respiratory disease as well as the feline parvovirus. While it is very effective in preventing panleukopenia, it is less effective at preventing upper respiratory disease but can result in less severe symptoms should an animal become infected. This vaccine does require a series for full protection- it is given every 3-4 weeks until the cat is at least 4 months of age. Vaccination lasts for 3 years after the initial series and booster 1 year later.

FeLV: This vaccine, when paired with a negative FIV/FeLV test result, can effectively help limit the possibility of contracting FeLV. Kittens are most susceptible to contracting this disease. This vaccine requires a series for full protection. We recommend cats 12 weeks and older receive the first vaccine. This vaccine needs an additional booster in 3-4 weeks, after the initial series this is an annual vaccine.  

DAPP: This vaccine protects against canine distemper, canine infectious hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza. Parainfluenza is one of the pathogens involved in the canine infectious respiratory disease complex. Parvovirus is a highly contagious gastrointestinal virus that typically causes bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Distemper and parvovirus vaccines are very effective in preventing disease. This vaccine does require a series for full protection- it is given every 3-4 weeks until the dog is at least 4 months of age. Vaccination lasts for 3 years after the initial series and booster 1 year later.

Leptospirosis: This vaccine protects canines 12 weeks and older against 4 different Leptospira variants. This zoonotic disease is common through the US and is found typically in standing water and infected animal urine. This vaccine requires a series for full protection. We recommend canines over 12 weeks of age receive the first vaccine. This vaccine needs an additional booster in 3-4 weeks, after the initial series this is an annual vaccine.

Bordetella (Oral): This vaccine protects canines from certain forms of Kennel Cough. This vaccine is given orally and needs to be boosted annually. We recommend canines over 8 weeks receive this vaccine. 

Microchips: Microchips are small transponders about the size of a grain of rice. They are injected under the skin between the shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification for your pet that can provide a free ticket home in the event your pet is lost or stolen. The $25 fee includes a lifetime registration for your pet.
