Pet Vaccinations in Brooklyn, NY
A vaccine is a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. We give them to prevent infectious diseases that can harm or kill your dog or cat. We also provide vaccine titers as an alternative to vaccination.
We follow the American Animal Hospital Association guidelines for vaccines. You can read their vaccination policy here. We believe in creating a customized vaccine protocol for every pet since every pet has different lifestyles and medical needs.
Dog Vaccines
Rabies (One‑Year and Three‑Year)
We offer both one‑year and three‑year Rabies vaccines, administered per local NYC regulations. The one‑year version ensures annual immunity tracking and licensing ease, while the three‑year option offers longer coverage for adult dogs. Both provide potent protection against a fatal virus, crucial for your pup and your peace of mind.
DA2PP (One‑Year and Three‑Year)
DA2PP combines protection against Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza, common and sometimes deadly diseases. We carry both one‑year and extended‑duration (three‑year) DA2PP vaccines, enabling flexibility for puppies and adult dogs alike. Whether you choose the annual booster or longer‑lasting option, our protocols ensure robust immune support.
Leptospirosis Vaccination
Leptospirosis threatens dogs via infected water or exposure. Our Leptospirosis vaccine guards your pup from this bacterial disease, which can harm the kidneys and liver, and even be transmissible to people.
Bordetella Vaccinations
Often called “kennel cough,” Bordetella is a highly contagious respiratory infection common in shelters, doggy day‑care, and boarding environments.
Lyme Disease Vaccinations
In areas where ticks roam, Lyme disease poses a serious risk. Our Lyme vaccine helps stimulate immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium behind Lyme disease.
Influenza Vaccinations
Canine Influenza strains can spread rapidly through social settings, dog parks, dog day‑care, and kennels. Our Influenza vaccine protects against common canine flu strains, helping reduce the severity and spread of respiratory illness.
Cat Vaccines
Rabies (One‑Year and Three‑Year)
Just like our canine partners, cats benefit from both one‑year and three‑year Rabies vaccines. While required for licensing and public safety, Rabies shots also protect your cat from a fatal neurological disease.
FVRCP Vaccinations
FVRCP is a vital combination vaccine for feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. It's one of the core vaccines for all cats.
FELV (Feline Leukemia Virus) Vaccinations
FeLV is a serious, potentially fatal virus affecting the immune system and blood cells, especially dangerous for outdoor or multi‑cat households.
Why Staying Up-to-Date on Vaccines Matters
Think of vaccinations as your pet’s immune system coach. Without them, your dog or cat is left vulnerable to serious, often preventable diseases like distemper, parvo, or feline leukemia. At VetSet, we’ve seen firsthand how a single missed booster can leave an otherwise healthy pet at risk. With NYC’s busy dog parks and densely populated neighborhoods, exposure is more common than you think. Staying on schedule gives your pet the immune defense they need to thrive.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Vaccination Visit
Our vaccine appointments are designed to be smooth, gentle, and stress-free for both you and your pet. Each visit begins with a wellness exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for vaccines. We assess their medical history, lifestyle, and potential exposure risks before customizing their vaccination plan. Most injections take just a moment, and we always offer treats, belly rubs, or chin scratches afterward. You’ll leave with a clear record of what was administered and when your next visit is due.
Is It Safe to Give Multiple Vaccines at Once?
This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it’s a good one. In most cases, yes—it’s perfectly safe and medically recommended to administer more than one vaccine at a time, especially during puppy and kitten series. We follow AAHA and AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) guidelines to minimize any side effects, spacing vaccines only when medically necessary. If your pet is older, has a sensitive immune system, or has a history of vaccine reactions, we’ll adjust the plan. It’s never one-size-fits-all at VetSet.
Tips for Aftercare: Helping Your Pet Feel Comfortable Post-Vaccine
Most pets do just fine after their shots. But just in case, here’s what we recommend once you’re home:
- Keep things low-key for 24–48 hours. Avoid intense exercise or dog park outings.
- Watch for mild side effects like soreness at the injection site, tiredness, or a slight fever.
- Call us right away if you notice swelling around the face, vomiting, or hives. These are rare but treatable allergic responses.
Our team is available by phone or text if you have concerns. When you choose VetSet, you're never alone in your pet’s care.
