Kittens are generally vaccinated against FeLV around 8 to 9 weeks of age. A booster vaccination is given 3 to 4 weeks later, according to the vaccine label, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Similarly, vaccination against FIV can begin when kittens are around 8 weeks of age. Two additional boosters are given 2 to 3 weeks apart, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Cats that go outside are at greater risk for exposure to FeLV and FIV compared with cats that stay indoors.
Dogs that are already on heartworm preventive medication should also be tested periodically. The âprepatent periodâ for heartworm disease (the amount of time it takes for microfilariae to be produced) is approximately 6 months in a dog. During this time, heartworm tests will be negative even if a dog is actually infected. Therefore, puppies younger than 7 months old are generally not tested for heartworms. Instead, puppies should be started on heartworm preventive medication (usually during their puppy checkup visits) and tested when they are older than 7 months.
