Pet Vaccinations in Kansas City, MO

Vaccinations are the single most effective way to protect your pet from preventable disease. At Rockhill Pet Clinic, our veterinarians build a vaccination plan around your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk of exposure — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Whether you need puppy shots, kitten boosters, or an annual update for an adult dog or cat, we can usually fit vaccinations into the same visit as a wellness exam.

Dog & Puppy Vaccinations

Core vaccines protect against diseases that pose a serious risk to every dog:

• Rabies (required by Missouri law)
• DHPP — distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus

Lifestyle vaccines are recommended based on where your dog spends time:

• Bordetella (kennel cough) — recommended for dogs who board, groom, visit dog parks, or attend daycare
• Canine influenza — recommended for social dogs; flu spreads before symptoms appear
• Leptospirosis — recommended for dogs with outdoor water or wildlife exposure
• Lyme — recommended for dogs living and traveling in areas where deer ticks are common.

Puppies begin their vaccine series at 6 to 8 weeks and receive boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until roughly 16 weeks of age. We will send you home with a written schedule so nothing gets missed.

Cat & Kitten Vaccinations

Core vaccines for every cat:

• Rabies
• FVRCP — feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia

Lifestyle vaccines:

• Feline leukemia (FeLV) — recommended for outdoor cats and kittens
• Kittens follow a similar booster series beginning at 6 to 8 weeks. Indoor-only cats still need core protection, since rabies exposure can happen through bats and escaped-cat incidents.

Vaccinations for Boarding and Grooming

Proof of current vaccination is required for every pet staying at our clinic. If your pet is due, we can bring them current before their boarding or grooming reservation — one visit, one location, no records to transfer.

To schedule your pet’s vaccinations, call 816-333-0973 or contact us today.

Urgent Care & Same-Day Appointments in Kansas City, MO

Pets do not schedule their emergencies. When something is wrong today, Rockhill Pet Clinic keeps room in the daily schedule for unscheduled and same-day visits — so you are not left choosing between waiting a week and driving to an unfamiliar emergency hospital across town.

When to Call Us Right Away

Call 816-333-0973 immediately if your pet is experiencing:

• Difficulty breathing or persistent coughing
• Significant bleeding or a deep wound
• Seizures or loss of consciousness
• Suspected ingestion of a toxin, medication, or foreign object
• Straining to urinate, especially in male cats
• Bloating, retching, or a hard, distended abdomen

When Urgent Care Is the Right Fit

These situations are not immediately life-threatening but should be seen within 24 to 48 hours:

• Sudden vomiting or diarrhea
• Limping, lameness, or visible pain
• Eye injuries, squinting, or discharge
• Ear infections and persistent scratching
• Wounds, abscesses, or hot spots
• A noticeable change in appetite, energy, or behavior

Walk-Ins Welcome

We accept walk-ins whenever our schedule allows. Calling first is always faster — it lets our team prepare for your pet’s arrival and tell you whether coming in now or later today makes more sense. Our doors are open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
