Question 1

When should puppies get their first DHPP vaccine?

PetClues · Accepted Answer

Most puppies begin the DHPP core series around 8 weeks of age, with boosters at roughly 12 weeks and a final dose near 16 weeks (sometimes later for large breeds). Always confirm timing with your veterinarian.

Question 2

When do kittens get FVRCP and rabies?

PetClues · Accepted Answer

Kittens typically start FVRCP around 8 weeks, continue at 12 weeks, and finish near 16 weeks. Rabies is commonly given around 12 weeks, subject to local licensing rules.

Question 3

Do indoor pets still need vaccines?

PetClues · Accepted Answer

Core vaccines (such as DHPP/FVRCP and rabies) are still recommended for most indoor pets because pathogens can enter the home and many jurisdictions require rabies. Non-core vaccines depend on lifestyle risk.

Question 4

Is this schedule a veterinary prescription?

PetClues · Accepted Answer

No. PetClues provides an educational planning roadmap. Your veterinarian should tailor products, intervals, and titers to your animal, region, and travel plans.
