Missed dog booster shot? Can Petco still vaccinate & test for heartworm?

If you only missed 1 month, you should be fine. Just resume Heartgard right away . If you just want peace of mind, then you can have Lilly retested in 6 month from now; however, the chances of infection are pretty low. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes with your pet Lilly. Take care!

The Vetco vaccine clinics which are scheduled periodically at many Petco locations do offer heartworm tests. Below is a link to pricing information: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is never too late! At 7 months old I recommend that your Vet test Midna for heart worm disease now. If she is negative start Heartgard then retest her again in 6 months. It takes a heart worm 6 months from the bite of an infected mosquito to mature in to adults and cause a test to be positive. So testing now only proves she wasn't bitten in the first 1 month of life. I highly recommend year round heart worm prevention for the entirety of the pets life. Getting heart worm disease can be deadly and treating heart worm disease is expensive and can also cause be deadly. I hope this helps and I wish you and Midna the best.

Don't worry. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for an exam and vaccines. Or you can go to the next scheduled vaccine clinic at the nearby Petco. Khloe will likely need 2-3 boosters given 4 weeks apart. Afterwards, the vaccine will be given yearly. There is very little chance she will contract parvovirus from the vaccine itself. She will also need a rabies vaccine if she never had one. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/

Hello. Yes, you can absolutely do this ( although clinics are usually once a month ). It is never too late to start vaccinating a dog & you are not required to go back to the same site for the booster vaccinations. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
