A stressed animal performs poorly during the examination; it may still receive the same level of immunization, but it suffers more. In cats, stress can mask symptoms or cause behaviors that hinder the examination. Vaccinating at home means the visit takes place in their own territory: a calm sniffing experience, a more reliable examination, and an experience they don&#039;t associate with anything unpleasant.<\/p>\n<h2>Puppy vaccination schedule<\/h2>\n<p>As a general guideline, the usual protocol in Spain is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>6-8 weeks:<\/strong> first polyvalent vaccine (distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis\u2026).<\/li>\n<li><strong>9-11 weeks:<\/strong> second booster dose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>12-16 weeks:<\/strong> third dose and <strong>rabies vaccine<\/strong> (mandatory in most territories; in Madrid it is mandatory for dogs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Starting from the year:<\/strong> annual reinforcements valued according to lifestyle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In cats, the usual vaccination schedule combines the trivalent vaccine (panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus) around 8 and 12 weeks of age, with rabies vaccination according to regulations and habits (for example, if the cat is going to travel). Each kitten is different: in the <a href=\"\/en\/veterinary-home-visit-consultation\/\">home visit<\/a> I review their history and adjust the schedule to their age, weight, and time of arrival home.<\/p>\n<h2>Vaccination in adult dogs and cats<\/h2>\n<p>As an adult, your pet will need regular booster shots to maintain its immunity. Not all vaccines are repeated annually with the same frequency: they are determined by age, whether your pet goes outdoors, lives with other animals, or travels. My approach is to vaccinate only what is necessary, without over-vaccinating, and to document this in its vaccination record.<\/p>\n<h2>Internal and external parasite control<\/h2>\n<p>Deworming has two aspects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Internal (intestinal parasites):<\/strong> monthly in puppies up to 6 months and, as an adult, a guideline every 3 months, which I adjust according to their lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes):<\/strong> Monthly protection with the most suitable format for your furry friend (pipette, tablet or collar), especially in spring and summer and if they walk in grassy areas such as the Guadalix area or the Corredor pine forests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is the home vaccination visit like?<\/h2>\n<p>We booked the appointment by <a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">WhatsApp (691 119 789)<\/a>, I&#039;ll come to your home at the agreed-upon time (Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 20:00 and Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00), check that your pet is healthy for vaccination, administer the vaccine and dewormer, update their vaccination record, and calmly answer all your questions.
