At Samavet we prefer to do the initial combo vaccines.
For puppies, this combo vaccineis called the distemper/parvo vaccine or the DHPPiL vaccine.
For kittens is called cat flu/feline panleucopaenia vaccine. They receive their initial one at the age of 8 weeks then receive two more (booster and Rabies) at 12 weeks. So in total, for this vaccine, your pet will have one initial immunization and booster that follow and one Rabies vaccine. After the booster your pet will not need these vaccines for another year and then will receive it yearly after that.
