Pet Vaccinations

Boost your pet’s immune system with essential vaccines.

Pet vaccinations are crucial for protecting dogs and cats from potentially deadly diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to produce protective antibodies to fight infection.

At Hixson Pet Wellness Center, we provide Fear Free vaccination appointments for all pet patients and build individualized vaccination schedules to maintain their well-being. Vaccines are a pillar of preventive care and keep your pet and the surrounding community safe.

Legally Required Pet Vaccinations in Tennessee

Tennessee requires cats and dogs to receive the rabies vaccine by 16 weeks and maintain a current vaccination status throughout their lifetime. The initial vaccination is valid for one year, after which a three-year vaccine is available.

Owners must keep proof of immunization for their pets and provide it upon request by animal control or law enforcement. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in fines or legal action.

Core and Non-Core Vaccinations for Cats and Dogs

We classify pet vaccinations into two categories: core and non-core. Every pet should receive core vaccinations, while non-core vaccines are suggested based on lifestyle, like time spent outside and around other animals.
