Pet Vaccination in Raytown, MO
At Kennedy’s Animal Clinic, our pet vaccination services protect your furry friends from serious diseases and give you peace of mind.
How Vaccines Safeguard Your Pet’s Health
Think of vaccines as your pet’s invisible shield. They protect against dangerous and sometimes life-threatening illnesses like rabies, parvo, and feline leukemia. Since pets can’t tell us when they’re sick, prevention through timely shots is one of the most effective ways to keep them safe and healthy.
What We Include in Your Pet’s Vaccine Plan
At Kennedy’s Animal Clinic, we provide a full range of core and lifestyle vaccines to keep both dogs and cats protected:
Rabies (Rb)
Protects against this deadly virus and is required by law.
DA2PP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus)
A combo vaccine covering multiple serious canine diseases.
Bordetella (Bord)
Helps prevent kennel cough, especially important for social pups.
Feline Leukemia (FeLuk)
Protects outdoor and at-risk cats from a dangerous, contagious virus.
FVRCP (Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)
Essential protection for cats against common and severe illnesses.
Our veterinarians will recommend the best vaccination schedule for your pet based on age, health, and risk factors.
Core and Rabies Titer Testing
A titer test measures the level of antibodies in your pet’s blood to determine if they are protected against certain diseases. This can be a helpful tool for pets who may not be good candidates for frequent vaccinations, or for owners who want to confirm their pet’s immunity status.
At our clinic, we offer core vaccine titer testing (distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus in dogs; panleukopenia in cats) as well as rabies titer testing. These samples are sent to the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (KSVDL), a trusted national reference laboratory for veterinary testing.
Results can help guide decisions about whether your pet needs a booster vaccine or if their immune system is already providing strong protection. In some cases, titer results may also be required for international travel or special circumstances.
Heartworm Prevention
Preventing parasites is just as important as vaccines, and heartworms are a serious threat in Missouri. At Kennedy’s, we make prevention easy with ProHeart 6—an injection that provides six full months of protection in one simple dose.
No more remembering monthly pills. No more worrying if you missed a dose. Just long-lasting peace of mind and year-round coverage for your pup.
ProHeart 12
For even greater convenience, we also offer ProHeart 12, the only FDA-approved product that prevents heartworm disease in dogs for a full year with a single injection. Bonus: it also treats hookworms at the time of administration.
This once-a-year option is perfect for busy families who want reliable, stress-free protection for their dogs.
