Vaccines protect cats, dogs, and their human families.
A vaccination works by preparing your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight off specific infections, reducing the risk of illness. At easyvet Frisco, we know that vaccines play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our pet patients. Make sure to bring your pet in for their yearly vaccines in Frisco, TX.
Understanding Your Pet’s Vaccine Schedule
A proper vaccination schedule follows guidelines so that your pet develops and maintains strong immunity. Puppies and kittens should start their vaccine series as early as 6-8 weeks of age, with vaccination boosters administered every few weeks until they are around 16-18 weeks old. The number of boosters needed depends on the specific vaccine, but it will usually be between 1 and 3 boosters.
Once the initial vaccine series is complete, pets need annual immunizations to maintain a strong immune response. Regular updates are needed because immunity can wane over time, leaving pets vulnerable to disease. At easyvet Frisco, all vaccines are stored safely and have been rigorously tested for their effectiveness and the safety of your pet.
Every cat’s vaccination needs are unique.
Our veterinarians will discuss your cat’s lifestyle and exposure risks to determine the best vaccine plan for them.
Core Vaccines for All Cats
- Rabies: Legally required in Texas, this vaccine protects against a fatal virus that can affect both pets and humans.
- FVRCP: This combination vaccine protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia—highly contagious diseases that can cause severe respiratory, oral, and gastrointestinal issues.
Non-Core Cats Vaccines Based On Risk Factors
- Feline Leukemia (FeLV): Feline leukemia can weaken the immune system and lead to serious illnesses. Recommended for most kittens and some cats (especially outdoor felines).
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough): May be suggested for cats frequenting boarding facilities or high exposure to other animals.
- Chlamydia: Can cause respiratory issues and may be recommended in multi-cat households, for outdoor cats, or due to additional factors.
Dog Vaccinations
Just like with cats, we customize vaccination protocols for dogs based on their age, activity level, and risk factors.
Core Vaccines for All Dogs
- Rabies: A legal requirement that protects against a deadly virus transmissible to humans and other animals.

- Leptospirosis: Protects against a bacterial infection that can affect both pets and people, commonly spread through contaminated standing water (like puddles or streams).
Non-Core Vaccines for Dogs Based on Risk Factors
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Recommended for dogs that are frequently boarded or groomed, attend daycare, or visit dog parks.
