In this blog, we’ll explore the essential vaccines that should be considered, and highlight the perks of The 100x Vet’s mobile vaccination protocols. We bring expert care to your doorstep, so your furry friends can skip the stressful vet trip and stick to their regularly scheduled lounging. We particularly excel in providing your pet their vaccines, even if they don’t like needles (who does).Â
When it comes to keeping our beloved dogs and cats safe from preventable illnesses, vaccinations are the unsung heroes—small pokes with big protection. Knowing which vaccines your pet needs (and when they need them) is an important part of being a paws-itively great pet parent.
Know that with the 100x Mobile Vet, vaccinations are never a one-size-fits-all affair. We take the time to listen—really listen—to you and your pet’s unique story. Then we provide not too much, and not too little, but a vaccination protocol perfectly suited to keep them wagging, purring, and thriving.
Why Do Our Furry Friends Need Vaccinations?
Imagine your pet donning a tiny superhero cape—because that’s essentially what vaccinations do! They turn your lovable furball into a pathogen-fighting powerhouse, ready to take on the microscopic villains of the world. By giving their immune system a gentle heads-up, vaccines help pets recognize and battle diseases before they ever get a paw in the door.
Benefits of Pet Vaccinations
(Why It’s Totally Worth It):
Bye-bye, bad bugs
Vaccines fend off some seriously scary stuff—rabies, parvo, and more—so your pet can focus on more important things, like chasing tails and napping dramatically.
Less sneezing, more pleasingÂ
Some diseases can jump from pets to people. Vaccinations help keep the whole household happy and healthy.
Save now, snuggle later:
Preventive care is often far easier (and cheaper!) than treating full-blown illnesses. Think of it as health insurance with bonus belly rubs.
Adventure-ready
Planning to board your pet or whisk them away on a trip? Most facilities and travel rules insist on up-to-date shots—another reason to keep that vaccine card ready!
Municipal Bylaws & Rabies Vaccination: A Little Peace of Mind
Think of your pet’s rabies vaccination as a kind of health insurance with a civic twist. It’s not just about keeping your furry friend safe—it’s also about keeping things smooth and stress-free if animal control ever pays a visit. When your pet is up to date on their rabies shot, you can smile, nod, and confidently present that little certificate like a gold star. You are a responsible pet parent doing their part, with a happy, healthy companion by their side.
Core Vaccinations
for Dogs
Core vaccines are the must-haves on every dog’s health checklist—and should be discussed no matter if they’re a couch potato, park enthusiast, or backyard explorer. These essential shots protect against some of the most common (and nastiest) canine diseases, helping your pup stay happy, healthy, and ready for tail-wagging adventures. The main core vaccines for dogs include:
Â
Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)
What It Is: A highly contagious virus affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of dogs.
Symptoms: Fever, eye discharge, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and paralysis.
Vaccination Schedule: Puppies start at 6-8 weeks old and receive boosters every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. Adult dogs will need boosters every 1-3 years.
Â
Canine Adenovirus (CAV-2)
What It Is: Causes infectious canine hepatitis, which can lead to liver failure.
Symptoms: Fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, and bleeding disorders.
Vaccination Schedule: Administered as part of the DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza) combination vaccine, following the same schedule as CDV.
Â
Canine Parvovirus (CPV-2)
What It Is: A virus causing severe gastrointestinal illness in dogs.
Symptoms: Vomiting, severe diarrhea (often bloody), dehydration, and lethargy.

Â
Rabies Virus

Symptoms: Behavioral changes, excessive drooling, paralysis, and death.
Vaccination Schedule: Initial vaccination at 12-16 weeks of age, with boosters required every 1-3 years depending on local regulations.
Core Vaccinations
for Cats
Cats may have nine lives, but it’s still best to keep each one as healthy as possible. Core vaccines help protect our feline friends from serious and widespread illnesses—whether they’re prowling the great outdoors or ruling the living room from a sunlit windowsill. No matter their lifestyle, all cats benefit from this essential layer of protection.
Â
Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV)
What It Is: Also known as feline distemper, it attacks a cat’s gastrointestinal tract and immune system.
Symptoms: Vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration, and a weakened immune system.
Vaccination Schedule: Kittens start at 6-8 weeks old and receive boosters every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. Adult cats need boosters every 1-3 years.
Â
Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1)
What It Is: A virus causing respiratory infections in cats.
Symptoms: Sneezing, nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, and eye ulcers.
Vaccination Schedule: Usually administered as part of the FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia) combination vaccine, with a similar schedule as FPV.
Â
Feline Calicivirus (FCV)
What It Is: Another common cause of feline respiratory infections.
Symptoms: Oral ulcers, sneezing, nasal discharge, and joint pain.
Vaccination Schedule: Administered with the FVRCP combination vaccine.
Â
Rabies Virus in Cats
What It Is: While rabies is more commonly associated with dogs, cats are also at risk.
Symptoms: Similar to dogs, including behavioural changes, paralysis, and death.
Vaccination Schedule: Initial shot at 12-16 weeks, with boosters as local laws require.

Â
When Should Pets Get Booster Shots?
Booster shots are essential to maintain immunity. After the initial puppy or kitten vaccination series, most pets will require boosters:
Â
Annually or every 3 years for most core vaccines, depending on the type of vaccine and manufacturer guidelines.
Every year for non-core vaccines, such as those for Bordetella or Lyme disease, if needed.
Â
Your veterinarian will recommend the best schedule based on your pet’s age, health, lifestyle, and local regulations.
