When does my puppy (or my kitten) need to start it's vaccinations?

We begin puppy and kitten vaccinations at 6 weeks of age. Prior to then, their immune system is immature and cannot respond to vaccination, and the protection from their mother's milk protects them. After about 6 weeks of age, this protection diminishes, and they are vulnerable to many life-threatening viruses. Although six weeks of age is the best time to start, we will taylor the needs of your pet to its age, and risk of exposure.
