This cost-effective program provides core vaccinations annually for a one-time fee. Dogs receive Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Leptospirosis; cats receive Rabies and FVRCP. The program requires annual wellness exams to maintain enrollment and ensure continuous protection against preventable diseases.
