FVRCP Vaccinations in Brooklyn, NY
Understanding FVRCP: What It Covers & How It Works
The FVRCP vaccine is a vital combination shot that protects your cat against three serious viral diseases in a single visit.
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR)
- Caused by feline herpesvirus 1
- Leads to sneezing, nasal discharge, eye irritation
- Can establish lifelong latent infection that flares under stress
- Feline Calicivirus (FCV)
- Multiple strains, varying in severity
- Causes upper-respiratory signs, oral ulcers, and lameness
- Easily spread through saliva, sneezing, and contaminated surfaces
- Feline Panleukopenia (FPV)
-
- Also known as feline distemper
- Destroys white blood cells, causing fever, vomiting, diarrhea
- Particularly lethal in unvaccinated kittens; no antiviral cure
How transmission happens in Brooklyn
- Respiratory droplets from sneezing or coughing in shared spaces like hallways or veterinary waiting rooms
- Fomites: shared carriers, bedding, litter boxes
- Asymptomatic carrier cats introducing viruses into multi-cat environments
Why a combination vaccine makes sense
- Fewer visits and injections for your cat
- Reduced stress and handling time
- Broad protection against three core diseases in one go
According to AAHA and AAFP feline vaccination guidelines, the diseases covered by the FVRCP vaccine are considered core, so every cat should be protected, whether they explore Brooklyn neighborhoods or stay strictly indoors.
Our Customized FVRCP Protocol & Scheduling
Because every cat is unique, The Vet Set creates a customized FVRCP vaccination plan based on your cat’s age, lifestyle, and medical history.
- Standard kitten series
- First dose at 6–8 weeks
- Boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16–20 weeks
- One booster at around one year of age, then boosters about every three years, adjusted to your cat’s risk level and the type of vaccine used.
- Adjustments for your cat’s needs
- Medical conditions (e.g., immunocompromise)
- Lifestyle factors (strictly indoor vs. outdoor access)
- Prior vaccine reactions, and titer testing is available in select situations, guided by AAHA and AAFP recommendations and your cat’s individual history.
- Seamless record-keeping & reminders
- We review your cat’s past records before every visit
- We send friendly reminders so you can stay on track with your cat’s vaccine schedule.
- Online scheduling makes appointment booking a breeze
By combining evidence-based protocols with flexible scheduling, we ensure your cat gets maximum protection with minimal stress, for both of you.
What to Expect During Your Vaccination Visit
Bringing your cat to the vet is not always easy. At The Vet Set, we walk you through a calm, step by step visit so you know exactly what to expect.
Before You Arrive
- Bring any prior vaccine records
- Plan to arrive a little early so we can review your cat’s history and make sure we have plenty of time for questions.
- Ease your cat’s journey: use a familiar carrier, add a soft towel, or spritz with Feliway
During the Visit
- Check-in & lifestyle review
- Gentle physical exam in a quiet, comfortable exam room
- Vaccine administration with low stress, fear free handling and a gentle touch
- A brief observation period so we can watch for any immediate reactions before you head home
Aftercare & Follow-Up
- Common mild side effects can include slight fever, extra sleepiness, or a small bit of swelling at the injection site, and these usually settle within a day or two.
- When to call us right away: any vomiting, facial swelling, hives, collapse, or trouble breathing after a vaccine.
- We will update your cat’s medical record, make sure you have the documentation you need, and send reminders when the next booster is due.
From the moment you walk in until you head home, we focus on comfort, clarity, and top-notch care.
Clear, Transparent Pricing & Package Options
We believe in clear, upfront pricing makes it easier to plan care for your pet. Each FVRCP vaccine is $69, which is the standard price for most vaccines at our hospital, while feline rabies vaccines are priced separately because we only use non adjuvanted products for your cat’s safety.
There are no surprises, because we list our exam fees and vaccine prices clearly on our pricing page. Our Carroll Gardens hospital is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and you can request appointments online any time for cats from Carroll Gardens and across Brooklyn.
