Dog Vaccinations in Brooklyn, NY
Why Vaccinating Your Dog Matters in Brooklyn
In a city where your dog might meet ten new snouts on a single walk, protection matters. Brooklyn is full of parks, pups, and shared spaces, which also means shared germs. That’s why dog vaccinations aren’t just a suggestion, they’re essential.
At The Vet Set, we approach vaccines as part of a bigger picture: a healthy, stress-free life for your dog and peace of mind for you. We follow science-backed protocols and take the time to tailor them to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and medical history.
Whether you’ve got a new puppy in Carroll Gardens or an old friend who needs a booster, we’re here to help you stay one step ahead.
NYC Dog Vaccine Laws & Licensing Requirements
New York City takes rabies protection seriously and so do we. Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and keep your dog protected:
- Rabies is the law. NYC requires all dogs to be vaccinated against rabies by four months of age, with boosters on schedule.
- Licensing ties it all together. To get a valid NYC dog license, you’ll need proof of current rabies vaccination.
- Off-leash access requires a tag. That license tag is your pup’s ticket into NYC off-leash areas, including popular parks in Brooklyn.
- Lost dog? A license can bring them home faster. Animal Care Centers use license info to reunite pets with their families.
Need help? We’ll print your vaccine certificate, fill out your license form, and make sure your paperwork is park-ready before you leave our clinic.

What If You’re Not Sure What Vaccines Your Dog Has Had?
Don’t worry, we see this all the time. Maybe you adopted your pup with a vague record, or you just moved to Brooklyn and aren’t sure what your previous vet handled. That’s why we’re here.
We’ll start with a simple conversation. If needed, we can check immunity for certain diseases instead of giving unnecessary boosters. We’ll also contact your past clinic (with your okay) and help piece together your dog’s vaccination history.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through our door. That’s our job.
And once we do? You’ll leave with a personalized vaccination record you can actually make sense of, and trust.
